It is my opinion that the wheels would require a lot of negative camber and much smaller tires in order to make them fit. I don't think that the OP has in any way misrepresented the fitment problems with these wheels.

I think the seller should take the wheels back and refund the money. Even though he stated that the offsets were unknown, he implied that these would fit a coupe better than they actually did. It seems like he was intentionally misleading in order to sell the wheels.

Small claims court is your friend, I have been there and done it....4 times!! over 10 years. You need any help with how to file let me know, I even had a guy who tried to scam me on some coilovers said he never got them but decided to put them up for sale on here
.
Misrepresentation, they do not fit without doing some major work and I for one don't like gobs of negative camber just to make it work and tires are not cheap.

Dude, join one of those prepaid legal groups ($25/month)and let them take him to court! All you have to do is sit back and if he dont show there will be a warrant out for his arrest.

well, OP has given you the spec.
he said,
you can do backspacing claculator to get the correct offset of them rims.
when you buy something over internet, you need to have some sort of info of the rims whether the seller is aware of it of not.
or by calling iforge directly, you could seriously ask if they remember doing a widebody g35 sedan.
So, he said 20 x 8.5 with 4" lip, meaning it has 4.5" backspace,
comes out to be, 20 x 8.5 et-5 offset (fronts)
20 x 10 with 5" lip, meaning it has 5" backspace,
comes out to be, 20 x 10 et-11 offset (rears)
You can DEF. DEF. DEF. make this work on your G coupe.
with some camber adjustment (go to NTB, they can max out the factory equipments to -3 ish degree of camber in rear , and -2.5 ish in front),
you can go a serious narrower tires, 235/30/20 and 265/30/20, or 225 and 255.
I hope this helps you.
ie. I have 19 x 10.5 et11 front with 245 and 19 x 11.5 et7 rear with 275,
I seriously think I can go about 5~10mm spacers on all four corners!
he said,
20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. Full polished with 4inch lip in the front and 5inch lip in the rear
