biggest rims on a stock height g35c?

newbie question

what's the largest size rims that would fit on a stock height g35c? i know the new ones have the 19" option, and you can increase the rim size as you make the sidewall smaller. but what's the limit assuming you want to be able to have no rubbing issues at stock height and would like to retain a decent (sp?) sidewall thickness?

you could definately go with 20's for sure, anymore i believe offset and rubberbands would be your best bet. personally, as much as it'll look dope, the performance/feel would be a.ss.

I've heard from owners with 20's that the ride and performance is not really affected too much. After all the 18s ride really rough already. I'll find out for myself this upcoming spring

any pics floating around of g35c's on 20's and stock height?? i'm debating if i should get the sport suspension package or save my money to buy aftermarket wheels. btw, i don't plan on any engine performance mods, maybe some suspension/handling, but not much more.

Hey Look Familar Vin LoL
I personally dont have a problem with the 20's. Would I take the car to the track or the drag strip on 20's.....No. Do I love riding on 20's on the streets You Bet. For everyday street use the performance is just fine. The only thing you can really feel that is different from the 18's is the brakes working there butt off to stop the car. They still stop plenty good just different then with the stocks on.

P.S. Vin I should be getting the snows on this week if all goes to plan

Here is a side pic. I dunno Marty I think DPE may be in the future but if it is I can tell you this much. I will be the only one with the set that I want from them, at least for a little while.

And yes this is at stock height. PM me if you need a high res pic.

Whoo, I've always contemplated whether 20s would be a more viable option due to the lack of need for the lowering springs... (no need for shocks either)... hmm... the black G35 looks high, but the red one seems fine, could it be the angle?

the black one is no where near high. In fact if you see it in person you'd swear there was a slight drop on the car.

GforceI, I love the way your car looks, nice and clean. BTW, how dark are your tints? I'm going to get mine tinted soon and want to tint the fronts too.
