20s - Is G/Z direct swap (pg 2)??

Hey guys, i'm debating getting 20s, but with all these potholes I am not to sure anymore. hwy 27 is a mess and i have to use it daily Reason why i'm thinking 20s is because I don't want to lower my car, my friend used to have 20s on his 350z on stock suspension and it looked like the car was low/didn't need to be lowered... You think it's possible to get the same look on the G Coupe? This is a pic of his car:

^ What tire size you running...I think the right tire size can give the "lowered" illusion.

It will look awkward if you dont lower it, probably like a 4x4. I live in brampton and i drive on HWY 27 all the time with s-techs and there are no problems. Just get some tein h (not that drastic of a drop)or s techs with the rims and call it a day. and Please dont buy the one's ur friend did.

ur friend's rim just looks weird and out of place for that type of car...you can tell the offsets are way off, the rear is tucked in more then amy reid's stomach, and its chrome. Some people like the look of chrome but its kind of frowned upon in this forum. Is that the style that you are looking for? if not, what is?

if the roads are anything like around here, don't bother. keep taller sidewalls. at that point it'd be cheaper to lower the car, no?(and look better too).

Not sure yea chrome is frowned upon...but i never had chrome wheels that's why i'm leaning towards them but not like my friends, i did a quick chop on a similar G like mines, right now its between Niche Venice or MSR 093 wheels. Which one u guys prefer? (Leaning towards the Niche b/c looking for wheels that will show off the Brembos)

Niche Venice


MSR 093

093's look good for sure. Just make sure you get decent offsets and not one's that are too high or else it wont look that great in my opinion. Also with the chop you have there, it would have to be dropped on some type of springs in order to look like that, i don't think it could ever look like that stock.
