i own a 04 g35 sports coupe with the brembo package and 18" rims and didnt know if the rims were all the same...i know the tires are staggered and bigger in the back but is the rim size wider also?? or 18x8 all the way around? on the 6spd coupes?

On my 04 coupe, they are all 18x8 but they are still marked seperately as front or rear. Can't say anything about offsets....I just am not sure.

im pretty sure the offsets for both are set the clear the brembos... i've sceen people with 06 rims with brembos on their car which means its either +24 offset or more... usually +17 is for the non-brembo.. and the rays oem's are 19x8 and 19x8.5 i believe the stock 18's came the same way... u can always call the dealer and ask.. they still carry the 18's

The front and rear rims are the exact same 18" x 8". There is a bolt on the front (removable) preventing the rotation of the wheels front and back. The '05 + with 19's moved up to 8.5" in the rear.

RBull is exactly correct. The front & rear rims on the 04 Coupes with 6MT's (includes brembo's) are the same size rims (18x8). The tires for the front are smaller than the rears which gives the staggered effect. There is a removable bolt on the front rotor hub that prevents the rear rims from being put on the front. I had to remove this bolt so the aftermarket rims I bought would mount on the front. So, the 18x8 rims are the same size for the fronts and rears but the fronts have a machined hole that fits over the bolt.

There's usually a page in the owners manual that specs out the wheels. I don't have a 2004, or I'd give you the page number.

Here's the page for a 2005. I hilighted the red part for someone else, so disregard that.
