Yikes, anything over 20" is too big. I agree with going back to 17's for a softer ride. They'll make you quicker too. But theyre ugly.

^ +1 except for caskyline's wheels, those things are sexy and go well with his car.

it will be a very soft ride - 18 or 19 " is very rough,

I guess you have never been in a BMW? A neighbor down the block has a 335i coupe with 19" DPE wheels and the ride is still smooth as silk.

A lot smoother than my 06 G35 coupe with stock 19's.

You're talking about 2 different cars here and different suspension jabbers.

We just have different styles... where I'm from, the souped up honda civic style you have going on with your infiniti would get laughed at... no offense.

For a car this heavy, one would think the car would be somewhat smooth and quiet.

I have the 19" OEM wheels and sport package. I wish I had smaller wheels and not the sport package.

If I was gonna do that I would buy an M instead and put 22s on that... but I know they will look fine on the G so I'm not worried.
