I undid one lug nut and tested it out. The mag lug nuts fit and the wheels are on the car. I'll re-torque them later today. Stock tire sizes as well which rub a little bit at higher turning angles. Otherwise so far so good.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Ooooh that looks really good. Glad you were able to mount them safely. Thanks to you, we learned that Infiniti wheels can be mounted with Lexus lug nuts.
Those tires look taller I’m assuming 40 series...? honestly they fill up the fender nicely and make the gap look smaller. I bet the ride is also more comfortable. Can you please share the tires sizes and where and how badly do they rub?

225/45/19 in front and 245/40/19 in the rear. Less than 1% variance for the AWD people. Not entirely sure where I rub right now. It's only when I turn right and it only rubs on the left side. I think it's the fender lining. I'll find out more as I drive it.

I need to balance the wheels and then I'll know how the ride really is. Did a spirited right turn and the dome light flashed as well as a dash light and it made a pinging noise? Thought that was weird.

255/40/19 on the back would work better with the 225/45/19 and your AWD transmission would be happier.

Yeah. That definitely would be better.

Those are the stock tire sizes from the g37s and came with the rims. I got a deal for them.

Changed my tire size to 225/40/19 and 255/35/19. No rubbing at all. A little vibration when first accelerating but drives well. Looks good for stock height.

Bruh, it looks so good!!!
That's actually the tire size ratio Lexus should have come from the factory.
I'm gonna have to up my sidewalls from 225/35/19 to 225/40/19 and 255/35/19 for a much better look and a bit of extra comfort.

If you still have the original Infiniti center caps you can transfer the Lexus logo from original caps onto these ones.
What brand of tires did you go with if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks man. I actually got Achilles tires. Never heard of them before but that's what was on the rims when I bought them and they are cheap. Just needed to go from point A to point B for me.

The tires on my stock rims were cupped apparently and needed to be changed in a few thousand miles, so figure I'll just spend the extra few hundred and get some bigger rims.

I have the OEM infinity caps. Didn't know you can transfer over the Lexus logo. Might give it a try.
