Everyone knows you’re pullin’ up to the meet when they hear that ear-piercing, headache-inducing, straight pipe’d VQ. In this guide, we’ll show you how to add some class back to your G37 with a properly fitting set of aftermarket wheels… It’s an Infiniti after all.
Researching wheels for this platform can be a little overwhelming. You’ll see wheel diameters from 17-20”, widths up to 12J, and offsets from +50 to ultra-hotboy-specs like -30. Where do you even begin? In this guide we’ll cover a bit of everything, OEM+ fitment, stance, even some builds on air suspension. You’ll learn all the wheel & tire specs so you can order with confidence.
This fitment guide is all about the G37, coupes and sedans, 2007-2015 model years. Yes, it’s very similar to the older G35 or 350z/370z, but we figured it’s about time it gets its own guide. Plus, we already covered the Z.
Coupe vs sedan fitment
This is a big one, especially considering we’re lumping both into one fitment guide. The coupe is about 13mm wider in the front and 25mm in the rear (yes, a whole inch). To compensate, factory wheel specs are quite different:
So, the Sedan is a bit thinner, but both can take very aggressive aftermarket wheels. Also, both are plagued by very sunken ‘OEM’ fitment. But wait…. You might be wondering ‘What if I put those slightly more aggressive coupe wheels on a sedan?’. We got you covered:
Here’s a good look at the fit. These are OEM 19” coupe Sport wheels, no spacers. The general consensus is that the rear will be near-flush depending on the alignment, and the front will still be a little sunken, but much better than factory sedan wheels.
If you really want flush fitment from OE wheels, you’ll need to space them out. A 15mm front spacer can do the trick if you’re happy with the rear fitment, otherwise, a 5-10mm spacer in the rear can make it truly flush.
As we said, the coupe is 13mm wider in the front and 25mm in the rear. As a rule of thumb, if you're a sedan owner and see a coupe you like, you can copy the fitment by adding the respective +13 / +25 to the offset; if you’re a coupe owner, just subtract those numbers.
You didn’t come here to learn about stock wheels, did you? Here’s a quick look at the preferred sizes for aftermarket wheels.
19” is the most popular diameter, however anything from 18-20” will work great on this platform.
As far as width, 9-10” is a good range for a daily driver or weekend warrior build. However, these cars can go very wide… like super wide, especially coupes. You’ll see them running a staggered setup with rears as wide as 12”- that’s on factory fender arches.
Again, offset will vary depending on which chassis you have and what type of look you’re going for. For flush fitment on a sedan, aim for something in the +30-45 range, with a higher offset in the rear if you choose a staggered setup. The wider rear fenders on the coupe are a good match for staggered wheels. Most coupes run 20-35 in the front, and 25-40 in the rear.
Akebono brake clearance
g37 akebono brakesThe sport model of the coupe comes with an Akebono brake package, and the fronts are hefty. Whether you have one of these, or you put Akebonos on your sedan, you’re probably aware of caliper clearance issues. Nothing is worse than trying to mount some new wheels just to have them hit the caliper. Fronts cause most of the issues, rears are pretty forgiving.
To have adequate caliper-to-barrel clearance you’ll need at least 18” wheels. However, not all 18s fit, and caliper-to-spoke (or caliper-to-face) is yet another concern. Sure, a spacer solves this, but who wants to add spacers when they carefully selected the perfect specs?
Before ordering, there are some resources to reduce your anxiety. Here’s a list of popular wheels that either pass or fail. This doesn’t include everything. If the wheels you’re eyeing don’t appear on this list you could try searching forums, or if you have access to the wheels, you could cut out this template to check clearance.
Staggered wheels on ‘X models’?
Turns out this term isn’t only used in Tinder profiles, Nissan/Infiniti also dubbed the AWD version ‘G37 x’ or ‘G37xS’. Can AWD G’s use a staggered setup? Sure, as long as the rolling diameter is within 2% difference front to rear - the G37xS uses a staggered setup from the factory. In other words, make sure the overall diameter is almost identical. It’s all in the tire sizing, we’ll look at examples later.
