Umm... I think you need a little 101 on wheels/tires for the G35c.
Most coupe owners have a wider wheel/tire in the back, with some fairly aggressive offsets.
For example, my Volks are a +28 offset rear (conservative, compared to a lot of guys that run crazy offsets on here), is 10.5 inches wide, with 285 section width of rubber out back.
Whereas the front wheels are +30 offset, 9.5 inches wide, with 255 section width of rubber.
The problem with your TIRES is that they're 235 series front and back. Most RWD sport coupes have a wider tire in the rear, think Vette, Cobra, even the new IS350 sedans have wider tires in the back.
Now, I'm not bashing you, BUT...
to fix your problem, just throw your stock wheels back on. I'm assuming you got your current wheels from a tuner magazine advertisement, or from a shop that is used to throwing ghetto wheels on civics.
If you want to do a proper job with your Infiniti, and I think you do, otherwise you wouldn't have made a post like this. What you should do is spend some time on the forum, look at some people's rides, take notes on wheel sizes, offsets, and tire profiles, and then make your own decision as to what you want.
We're all pretty nice and open here, 'cept for the offset-**** club

^yep. hm. so even with a drop, it's still going to look heinous. gotcha. i was planning on buying some springs, but even with that, without new tires, it's still going to look funny. thanks for the info guys!
and I totally agree with everyone here that your tires are way too small.
you're like the kid that won't smile in pictures b/c of crooked teef! haha seriously, who cares. show us the wheels! not everyone spends 5k on wheels.
def run staggered set-up; a must!

think I'll be able to keep the 235's in the front and put in some 245/40/19's as per Douchebag's suggestion with an 1'' drop?
heh. wasn't running staggered because that's how the wheels came with.
^ your avatar is scary... haha. it's more like getting flamed for having these. lurked around the forums and the general consensus is that they're heinous.

I made them look good.
You can't always please everyone but having the right offset
and tire size for our cars is paramount
