EDIT: since you have a non sport, it will definitely clear your calipers. the g37S has the akebono BBK

Thanks for the info, unfortunately it got sold!! Winter Tires right now seem to be impossible to find

indeed. are you looking for wheels and tires? you know what you could do is throw winter tires on your stock 18's and then buy new wheels in the spring.

Good point, maybe I should just purchase some All-seasons from tirerack.com

Yes. They should fit. I have the Exact same wheels and tires for my winters wheels. I bought them from Tirerack. My total cost was $1255.

Poo. Missed that they were sold.

If you're gonna buy new tires, might as well get winters. i have some 245/45/18 dunlop sp sport signature all season tires with about 10k on them. (they have a 420 tread rating, so there is plenty of life left in them. they fit the stock 18's fine and i'll sell them to you if you want, but if i was you i'd go for a dedicated winter tire. you're going to have traction issues with all seasons in snow.

As long as you get snow tires, not all-seasons. I had all-seasons on my 350 and they were fine until it got real slick. The Blizzaks that I mounted last year are awesome. I actually had fun driving in them. Zipped past FWD and AWD cars like they were nothing.

Nice, too bad those wheels got sold, it would've been a decent deal
