Winter tire & rim help

Hi
New g35 owner from Canada looking for some winter rim and tires sizing help.
I currently have 245/35/20 front and 285/35/20 in rear, I believe it came with 19s stock.
Any help please

Buy my coupe 18's with 235/45/18 michelin ice xi2 tires. 1500 miles at most.

If your car came with 19's you might be limited on wheel sizes that you can run. Do you still have the stock 19's? Are you wanting tires for them, or new wheel size and tires all together?

What year is your G...? If it came with stock 19's, you can run 17's no problem...

The stock 18's are a nice looking wheel, though.

I would see if the oem 17" wheels will fit. The wheels and snow tires are a LOT cheaper. If your worried about going that small go for 18's with snow tires. However there is a BIG price difference.

I have a question regarding snow tires as well. A local G owner in MN has his 18'' OEM sedan wheels up for sale. He was unsure of the dimensions but from what I have seen I am guessing they run 18x8 all the way around. I am not sure of the offset but I have the standard brakes on my G35 Coupe, will I have any trouble fitting this wheel on my car or clearing the brakes? I would think it should be fine, just wanted to get some input from the experts!

They "should" fit I would try to do a test fit if possible. They will fit with spacers for sure and I think they would look goofy without spacers the sedan wheels will look like they are tucked way inside your fenders.

That is what I was thinking as well. Do you think 15 mm in the front and 20 mm in the rear would be good? I appreciate the help!

17-inch fit my 2007 coupe just fine 4 years running...

My price will remain the same whether I sell them now or the day after the first blizzard - I'm not greedy ...
