About this guide
This guide is for the rear-wheel-drive 2008–2013 G37 Coupe Sport package with factory 19×8.5 front and 19×9 rear wheels: 225/45R19 92W front and 245/40R19 94W rear. It is not a square G37 sedan or G37x recommendation, and IPL fitment needs its own placard check. Every option below is sold in both factory Sport Coupe sizes; buy a matched pair for each axle and keep the front and rear tire diameters close to the original staggered setup.

Buying tips
- Confirm the door placard and wheel width. The factory G37S Coupe Sport package is staggered; do not order a sedan square set by accident.
- Replace front tires as a pair and rear tires as a pair. Do not mix all-season and summer tread designs across one axle.
- A G37x sedan has AWD drivetrain constraints, while a Coupe Sport has a different wheel package. Treat a forum tire recommendation as a starting point, not a fitment approval.
