Unhappy Back after more than a year..FITTING STOCK 19" G37 WHEELS to 04 Coupe w/ AKEBONOS

Hey guys...after more than a year of believing a scam, I have my whole car gutted out and paint removed for "preparing for a new paint job". Long story short, i dont even have wheels to get my car out of the ****ing shop. My volk gt-7, my spacers, and my decks been taken and longer can be found.

Im just trying to get my car out of there so im thinking of getting some g37 19"s hoping that itll fit all around my car without any spacers. Im sure itll fit the rears no problem but im worried about my fronts.

They should clear the BBK correct?

Time for me to spend even more money to restore my car back to what it was...

EDIT: by the way, im dropped on the 350z espiler springs

EDIT2: Also, I cant seem to find any g37 wheels locally but i did find some 20" 2011 m37 alloy wheels w/ the offset 43mm. would these fit too?

paid for air suspension+installation, lagged.
convinced me to get a set of wheels, lagged.
convinced me to get more parts (widebody kit, cf parts all around), lagged.
was going to get a paint job so they sanded my car down. is my car painted? no, its been sitting at the same spot forever
wheres my money for everything, no idea.
sold my wheels to the guy too to help with total price. where are they now? no idea.
gave my DD pioneer deck for his new suv, where is the suv now? no idea.

it was a very stressful experience but i rather not talk about the whole thing...

im just trying to get my car out of there

The law and the local news station, they LOVE investigative reporting stories like that.

Sorry to hear about your experience tho.

Unless you feel like your life will be threatened or something, you should OUT the shop.

Horrible shops like that shouldn't be in business like that, and I'm sure they'll feel it from everyone else in the Bay Area reading this.

Yes, I'm definitely getting out the shop and the owner finally agreed to putting my car back together with different parts and giving me the evo x that i bought under my name for his shop to be a company car since he failed to make payments on time...big loss on my end and tbh i just want my cars back and out and never deal with this guy again.

i rather not have law enforcement involved because its not worth risking my life for since i realized halfway through that he can be a dangerous man. he will bring someone down with him if he ever falls.

i know he roams forums and he may end up finding this post. as for the wheels part, i dont even know if hes going to bring a set of wheels for my g so just in case im going to go buy or maybe possibly try to rent someones g37 19 inch wheels hoping it would clear the akebonos that i have.

i still have yet received the answer for this post, will the 19" stock 37 wheels clear the akebonos on my 04 coupe without any spacers?

thanks all...i really miss my car

I wont disclose the shop name yet because its not really the shops fault, its the guy who owns it fault. hes notorious for lying and fraud but i havent found that out after i invested my money in him for my car and a shop that we opened (made me believe that i was actually a part owner but in the end i was just nothing)

but still..i need to know if the g37 wheels will fit. can someone please answer this so i dont go buying the wrong wheels lol.

im so sad at this point that i dont even want to mod my cars anymore. after this guy, thinking about it, makes me want to stay away from the modding area and just do light mods on future cars...

he got a brand new evo under my name n couldnt pay it on time so i was forced to steal it back lol...he opened another shop in socal which gave me the good time to go find the evo and have a locksmith make me a key since it is under my name. i couldnt answer any questions whenever the banks called to collect payments...

he also ran a evo forums back then and he users there found out who he really was and made their own evo forums lol. **** me for researching so late..

im sure hed check g35driver here so ima delete this thread as soon as i find out if the stock 19" g37 wheels can fit my 04 coupe w/ akebonos and no spacers. thank you guys

I wish I could be more help but the best I can do is tell you they definitely fit with 20mm spacers because that's my current setup and its semiflush with coils. Are you against running spacers?
