My 04 sedan with G37 18's

I know the spots on my most traveled roads (really just 2 spots) that caused the rubbing the first day, and I've been able to avoid rubbing by going slower over one of those spots, and using the right lane at the other spot. These are some extraordinary dips/bumps in the road, not your typical ones. I probably won't roll the fenders--not really necessary at this point.

Update....After rubbing again on an aggressive hilly turn, I decided to roll the fenders myself. So--took about an hour. Heat the paint with the wife's hair dryer, then used my Louisville slugger to roll the rear fenders, a little touch up paint just in case, and perfect! I went over the same bumps at normal rub speed, and no more rubbing. Only needed a few millimeters of clearance, as they were rubbing right at the inner edge of the fender.

it might be just a LITTLE taller. but i know for a fact i wont rub just with wheels and no drop. too much room.. but yea 45 sidewall is just a bit taller.
i think it should be ROUGHLY the same +30 F and +33R, i'm on Z wheels and G/Z had roughly the same. Newer car offsets are very similar to old ones.

$550 + $600 for decent tires + $100 mount/balance = $1250
I paid just over $800 for my set with almost-new tires...Also, either way you go, you'll need to get the newer style lug nuts. Your 1st gen G35 lugs won't fit the G37 wheels.

You can use your stock ones. in my situation, I actually had only 3 TPMS'--one broke a while back. So I just went ahead with regular valve stems on all 4; I run that way on my winter wheels, and have no problems--I can check my own tire pressure. The tire pressure light only comes on after long highway trips (30 miles or more, it seems), then it goes away after the car is shut off.
