Can anyone tell me if the 08 M45 rims clears an 07 G35x easily?
Or are spacers needed? Thanks a million guys. I ask cuz not many ppl have the new 08 M45's on 2nd gen sedans.

OEM 19's looks so much better, but than again it may look killer!

Yes!
I want those... but I have a strong feeling I would have a hard time finding a set since I cannot run staggered :S Since I drive an X.

There's a ton of room for brakes on all M45 rims including the 08s. The rims are basically the same as the 06-07 rims except that the spokes are flared out where it meets the edge of the rim.
That said, M45 rims look much better w/ spacers anyway. So, throw on some 15 mm spacers if you're not lowered or 20-25mm spacers if you're lowered and you will have TONs of brake caliper space.
With respect to G37 rims, as long as you're running the same diameters front and rear, you will have no problems running a staggered set up. G37 coupes come with 225-45-19s F and 245-40-19s R which are virtually identical in diameter so it will be fine. TONs of people have run staggered set ups on various AWD vehicles with no problems at all.

AlterZgo - Hey thanks so much for the detailed reply. That answers my questions very well and more =)
G35xQX1 & AlterZgo - MANN!! im so confused now!! I always thought you cannot run staggered on an X... now you guys say different. But what you guys said does makes sense if its the same diameter... hmmmmm....
808MIKE - haha ive stared at your car for a good amount of time since before..hehe its nice.

Wes 888: Check this link out. They do a great job of explaining this in simple detail http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete....jsp?techid=18

Yes you can run different sizes, but as that article states it will eventually torch your center diff.
Thanks for the input guys. But it seems like its probably best to run a non staggered setup for X's.

Well, you could get 2 sets of the fronts or the rears and then you wouldn't have to worry. But of course the object is $$$
Ya thats problem.. it would be hard to find a set like... :S either that, or spend heavy cash on them... if thats the case, I might as well go aftermarket.
