Hey guys, I've search this but to no avail.

Tirerack.com says we can put the following tires on a 2003 G35 Sedan :

16" Recommended: 205/65-16

17" Recommended: 215/55-17

My question is : 17 is obviously stock size, but I've never heard of 16" tires to fit on our cars? Can someone shed some light? Is that enought to clear the brakes, assuming non Brembos of course for the Sedan?

I run 16 x 7" alloys with 215/60R16 on my 05 G35X with no problem. If you have the non brembo brakes you should not have a problem running them on your 03 sedan. On the 2005 sedans only the G35X could use the 16"ers since the other 2005 models went to bigger brakes.

 

In 2003 there was a "stripper" model of G35 sedan, a non-leather price leader that had 16" wheels as standard equipment.

When using a lot of online tire and wheel finders, when you choose G35 sedan without sport suspension it will come back as a 16" wheel. Just choose with sport suspension even if you don't have that option to get 17" wheel choices. Somewhere someone bollixed it up and thought only sport suspended 2003 G sedans had 17" tires when these are the standard tire for the G35 sedan leather.
