I have 10MM spacers, and a question...

I have the M Sport 19's and 10MM spacers. I'm looking for winter wheels but I don't want to remove the longer studs needed for the spacers. I need compatible wheels while keeping the spacers. Will the G37 coupe 19" wheels work along with 10MM spacers? If not, how do I go about finding wheels compatible with the sedan AND using 10MM spacers? Or do they make deep lugs that will clear longer studs if I take the spacers out? Haha!

Thanks in advance guys!

19" G37 coupe rims will fit fine w/ 10mm spacers. You'll go from:

F: 19x8.5 +43 to 19x8.5 +33
R: 19x9 +45 to 19x9 +35

Both will fit fine w/o rubbing issues.

That said, why use G37 coupe 19s for winter wheels? I don't think there's a good selection of winter tires in a 19" size. How about just using your stock 18s and putting winter tires on those?

Or, you can go with 17x7.5 G35 non-sport rims or 18x8 +43 G37 coupe non-sport rims.

Wow, 19x9 with +33 will push the back wheels out another 7/16" farther than they are now (Ms are 8.5x19 +50 without 10MM spacer). And about 1/4" more in the front. Maybe if I dropped it, but I'm not planning on doing that.

I may look for some other wheels instead. I'm sticking with 19's because they fit this car the best, imo. I'll be able to find 19" snows to wrap them ok. Winter may be winter, but with 6 month winters in MN, I want my car to look nice for the other half of the year too.

Thanks for the input!

Is your concern for the winter just not having the M wheels subjected to winter conditions? I agree...G37 wheels aren't necessarily winter wheels. Maybe just invest in winter tires? Otherwise like AlterZgo said...get the 18s for the winter. Not as nice as the M wheels for sure, but not a bad alternative by any means.
