20" Rims

I want to get 20" rims on my 05 G35 Sedan. It already has 18" rims on 235/45/18 tires. I was wondering if I can get 20" rims without modifying anything else on my car, I do not want to lower it because it will mess with my warranty. If i were to get 20" rims, what size tires would be my best bet?

Yes you can do 20" you will be running a 245/35R20 and a 275/35R20 you just need a sedan offset which is higher than the coupes.

275/35/20 is too tall........

I'd recommend doing 245/35/20 Fr and 275/30/20 Rear.

You want to keep your sidewall height as close to stock as possible.

Front Offset range on a typical 8.5 inch rim +35mm to +38,

Rear Offset range on a typical 10 inch rim +40mm or higher.

This setup will be very flush to the fender, and I know you don't want a drop, but rims on stock heigh looks out of place to me. You will want a drop after getting rims I gurantee you.

if you do 245/35R20 and 275/30R20 your front tires will be about 5 to 10mm taller than your front tires.

The tire size you suggested, 275-35-20 is way too tall for the g35 at 30mm+ taller than stock.....it has a diameter Difference of 4.58%.......beyond the safe range.
