I just bought pads for my G35, front and rears, and have never seen such a difference in the size of the pads. What I do know is that the rear pads are a very common size across other Nissan/Infiniti models.
That is a pretty big difference. My Jeeps and the Subaru I mentioned are considerably different in size from front to rear, but not like that. There is certainly enough room to increase the size of the rear brakes and calipers on the three vehicles I mentioned.
