Can I fit G37s wheels on my 08 G35x safely and easily?

Hey guys, I bought an 08 G35x in great condition except that there is some curb rash on the wheels. I have a pet peeve with that and I'm thinking abotu swapping them unless I can get the damage fixed (or close). I love the wheels on the g37s, but I hear it's not too good to do a staggered setup on an AWD car.

Anyway, I was wondering what you guys think--can I easily put a set on my g35x? If not, what would you do in my case?

I believe staggering setups severely messes with the AWD system. I would stay away until you can get 4 identical wheels.

They do not if you keep the tire diameter the same.

I had S wheels on my 07 G35 and when the potenzas wore out I put the same size tires on all 4 corners. Here's a link to an old thread w/ pics of the setup. I think the stock staggered sizes are probably within the diameter tolerance that they'd also work w/ the X but I'm not 100% sure about it.

Pics on page 2 of thread.

I wonder if I can just get 4 identical g37s wheels somewhere...

I have a blue slate car--anyone have some favorite classy non-OEM wheels they think would look good with it? Not something super chrome or blingy, just classy and nice like the g37s

g37S wheels/a staggered set-up will be fine as long as the rolling diameters are close enough.

If you want to get all 4 to be the same size, buy a set and see if another owner would swap you two fronts for rears.

I'd just google "07 Infiniti G35 18" sport wheels" I've found several sources and you can just order all rear wheels. They're a great wheel and look nice on Gs. If I remember correctly they were in the $200 range per wheel.

I don't actually like the sport wheels very much from the 07 sedan. I'm talking about the G37s

Really? I haven't heard many that like the new G37S wheels very much.
I'd try www.tirerack.com for other wheels, I've bought from them and they're top-notch w/ good prices (and a sponsor here too )

Man, I love the G37 wheels cuz they're not super fancy and blingy, but look really classy on the cars. Not sure how they'll look in a sedan though. I almost want to ask my neighbor to throw his on my car so I could see how it would look lol. I'm considering getting the replicas...

The M45's aren't bad...but I think I still like the G37s ones more. Any pix of the M45 on the G sedan 07+? I've seen some on the 06-

I actually just saw Lexus IS-F wheels and I really dig the way they look...I think they would look good on a blue slate car. Thinking about where i can get some cheap
