IMO anything much under 1" drop on our cars, basically looks stock, so if you're gonna vertically challenge your ride, I'd say look at 1" or so options
Good advice! I'll get the 20's first before I drop so I can do a before/after comparison.

Also, I see a lot of people get bigger rear rims/tires than the front. Is that necessary for casual drivers? I'm not going to race or do turns at like 40 mph.

What do you guys think about that 20" package? Seems pretty cheap!

I have base G35 with 17's so when I said 19"+ I meant purchased rims and not standard factory stuff...

I unno, if you like em...

I'd do some more research into brands/quality/size before you buy. You def want to keep the staggered setup on the coupe...unless you're runnin 10.5 all around haha search around the forum here, a LOT of folks have done the heavy lifting for you...just find the threads and you'll have a good idea of why people choose each setup!

If you want to scrape your car on a regular basis then by all means lower it. Lowered is not a good idea for a car driven on the street. IMHO!!! Looks great but not very practical for a daily driver. IMHO

Thanks for the encouragement. I can do better, but this is all I have time for at present. Odd that I've owned the car for nearly two years and haven't found the time to take photos of it.

Again, tire sizes are 245/35/19 & 275/35/19:
