Mixed answers via search, please help. 2007 G35 Sport. What is the smallest rim and tire I can use for a winter setup. WIll a 17" rim clear the brakes. Thanks.

 

interested as well. got the same mixed results. read mostly it will work here on the 07 Sedan forum. But mixed info in the coupe forum.

 

Most 17" rims should clear the brake calipers which is all they need to do. It's possible some won't. To be safe either
1) buy from tirerack using one of their selected rims, they guarantee fit
2) go to a local shop and have them try on rims.

I have a set of 17" for snows that fit fine. Picked them up from the local discount tire because when I bought my car tirerack hadn't test fitted the '07 G and wouldn't sell me any rims.

 

17's and up only. Ever since they changed the calipers even on the 2005+ sedan they no longer cleared a 16" rim.

I have 17" with a 215 x-ice i got from tire rack. They are from my 2006 sedan and fit fine, so all sizes from a 2005-2006 sedan will also work.

 

Do you all install the tires yourself each season?
