I just mounted Linea Corsa LM 19's on my 08 G37s and the front do not clear the calipers. I tried a 10mm spacer and then 2 -10 mm spacers. The 2 spacers almost cleared but the lugs would not tighten down. I thought about using longer studs and more spacer but am concerned about clearance to the fender or vibration. Looks like it will take about 25-30mm spacer to clear the caliper. FYI: the caliper is the stock Brembo that comes with the 08 S package. Any advice or experence with this?

A spacer of that size, I would recommend one that is made of good quality. Can you send the wheels back and get the right offset. They maybe easier in the long run.

Ended up using a 20 mm spacer adapter from H&R that worked great. No vibrations at all. It really make sthe front wheels look good fillign the fenders perfectly.
