Yes and yes.

I don't like the look of the sedan with aftermarket wheels and stock height.
I have 8.5's front and 10's in the rear with H&R springs (1.0F, 1.2R).

ok so if i got 20's i have to get it dropped for it to look good? but will 19's with the right tires allow me to keep stock height?? and if i got 19x10 or 20x10 in the back will i need to modify anything for them to fit? sorry theres just alot of rim/tire options and im having trouble deciding...im lookin for the best combo/least maintence...thanks

i have 20x8.5 with a +35mm offset and 245/35/20 tires and it looks great! it will sit flush to the fender...it still looks nice without being dropped...if you are not dropping your car, i would get 245/40/19 tires if you plan on going with 19x8.5 wheels...

I think it should be lowered either way. If you don't lower it make sure and get tires with a decent size sidewall.

If you don't lower it, you might be able to get away with 10's in the rear and no rolling. If you lower it you will need to roll your fenders.

Why don't you want to lower it? At least with 350Z springs, they don't take it down too much; just enough to make it look clean.

Wow, if things are that bad maybe you should keep it stock height and get a 45+ series.

Either way, good luck and post some pics when they are on.
