Hello all,I used to own a 2003 G35 coupe but the wife wanted AWD so after keeping it 3 years we bought an Acura RDX. Now its time to trade it in and she is looking into a G37x coupe. She misses the car..... Anyway, I have one question. I'm not too fond of the OEM wheels for the G37x coupe and wanted to know if the factory 7 spoke 18's from the G35 coupes would fit on the new G37x coupe. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't seen the specs on the G37x coupe, are they staggered? If so it should be fine. Just know that switching between staggered and non-staggered wheels on the AWD system isn't always the best idea.

Otherwise you'd have to look at offset as well, believe the new ones have higher offsets compared to older Gs so older wheels could stick out more.

As far as I know they are not staggered as was the 03 G35 auto used to be. The offset issue is my biggest fear /concern. Since I never had the 18's on the G35 I don't think they were staggered. I know the 17's on the 03 G35 auto were. Anyone with solid info care to chime in?

All of the G35 coupe whees were staggered, so if the G37x are not I would say its a no go. Could go for the 18s on G35 sedan though. Those probably would have closer offset to the G37x coupe as well.
