Hows it going guys. I just got my G a few months ago and have a few plans for it. But, of course I want to make sure if its even possible haha.
So I'd like to swap out my 18in rays for some coupe 19in rays. However, I also plan on adding the G37 BBK on my G35 in the future. Will these rims clear those brakes? Would they clear the 18in rays if I decided to stay with those?
Also, random question as well. What size spacers would I throw on after I drop it on some coil-overs. And will those sizes be different dependent on the size rays I use? (18, or 19)
Thanks again.

Your 18s are not Rays, only the coupe 19s are. Your wheels will not clear bbks but the 19s will. Also the 19s don't need spacers on a sedan, they're flush without them.

G35 19" rays clears those Alliance BBK 8/6 pistons 15"/14" rotors with room to spare. So absolutely no problems at all with Akebono's.

Damn, thats practically the same exact set-up I was going for haha. Same color sedan too. Originally Posted by g35austin

Thanks for the information guys.

Not a bad idea, they look great on the sedan.
sorry to bring this thread back from the dead. But does anyone know what size spacers to use for the stock 18 sport rims? The ray look a likes. Thanks.

IIRC they have an offset of +43 so you'd just have to decide where you wanted them to sit to determine the offset.

I just want a flush look with the fenders until I get rims. I have 245 45 tires on the rims if that helps.

15-20 mm spacer will do the trick....I assume the vehicle is lowered.
