Looks like he has an '11, in which case the duckfeet wheels should fit over them.

Wait, you're saying the 17" rims fit over akebonos?

From what I read, the pre '09 18" sports sedan rims won't fit without spacer

clarification: '07 & '08 won't fit without spacer, '09 onward will fit just fine

I think '10 is the first year with Akebonos for sedan at least.

Nope, that's incorrect. They introduced the Akebonos on the sport models at the advent of the G37 model designation which occurred with the '09 model.

(For sedans: there was never a G35 Sport with Akebonos, and there was never a G37 Sport without them)
