No mods needed.

You're only about 1% difference in Diameter so it shouldn't throw your VDC.

Front
Overall Diameter: 26.75 in 679.45 mm
Rear
Overall Diameter: 26.49 in 672.84 mm

Gonna need a hella drop for that 4x4 though. THEN you will probably need to roll your rear fenders to run a 275.

those should fit, but l wouldn't feel comfortable using staggered wheels on a G35x due to the AWD

i know alot of awd driver worries about these staggered setups, yes and no for me also, but i have been running 245/35/19 front and 265/35/19 in the rear with no problems. awd light never came on at all. until i threw my stockers on the front for snow. lol dumb move i know. i check my car every now and then since i have access to a shop 24/7 and seem to have no problems. so yes, run stagger!!

I like this one, it gives you images of what different tire sizes will look like on rims.

If you want to add 20 wheels, you'll need many more axels...

I hope the roads round you are very smooth because ride quality with that setup will probably be appalling...

Your car will almost certainly be slower too.

But it will look sweet.

I have a staggered setup, 245/19/8 +35 & 255/20/10 +40.

I don't have an x though. And I def had to have the camber kit for the rear. It's got a nice aggressive stance
