I keep reading from people saying that it does and some say it doesn't. I haven't gotten a flat yet so I don't know myself but I would like to know if it does or not, thanks.

test fit it if you're so eager to find out. I say it fits without any problems. why would Infiniti design something NOT to fit?

I've thought that to myself too, but if that was the case why would people say it doesn't clear?

Let's say it doesn't and you get a flat in the front. You might have to put the rear on the front and put the donut on the rear.

i don't think nissan would inconvenience its consumers like that...
why would they provide a spare that wouldn't clear the brakes?

I had to use it once for the front - No problem, although I felt like a fool with it on.

Quick question for anyone who knows. I'm guessing the donut spare for the coupes with brembos is bigger than the donut spares that come with sedans? Is that right? Anyone have pics of the coupe donut spare that fits over the brembos?

This has got to be one of the crazier things I've ever heard of. Congratulations Mr. Smith, we hope you enjoy your new G35 coupe. Just remember not to use your spare if you have a flat, since it'll rip the calipers apart as soon as you start to roll!!!

Of course the spare clears the Brembo's. I've used it myself.

I had a flat tire with my '92 300ZXT one evening at
the Anaheim Pond. Had to wait until the concert was
over and everyone had left to get it fixed. Then drive
50 mph up the I-5 to Valencia. That's like 70 miles
trying to stay away from giant trucks and normal
traffic going 70 to 80 mph........scarey evening.
But it beats walking.....right?

Hmm if it fits on the front then what is the trick? The donut I have dosn't come close to fitting over the brembos on my front, I just had a flat on the right front so I just ran into this problem.
