I believe earlier he said he lowered it .67"

... so his total gain in height was ... I mean reduction in height from stock was .14"

Then again that is why you lower it...

I think his ride looks really nice on those rims...
And if he went with the correct aspect ratio he would have matched the OEM tire diameter and achieved an even drop front and rear and also not shift the weight distribution of the car to the rear. If a 255/35/19 is the correct tire size then a 255/35/20 CANNOT be the right size for the front for the exact reason you mentioned, the rim is 1" taller, you have to account for this by using a lower aspect ratio, just like was done on the rear with a 285/30/20.

I actually saw a G yesterday with pentas and d@mn it looks so nice, even better than pictures. Sometimes, pictures don't do justice on some of these wheels.

I know, i don't get out much and rarely see any G's with aftermarket wheels. I can only imagine what iforged, work, volks, etc. actually looks like in person, must be insane.

Nice!

Very nice! but what is the correct aspect ratio on the 20 in rims 245/275 or 255/285 like what you have?

These are the perfect wheels for your car and somehow work pefectly with the color. They make it look very, very classy. A rear wing might really set it off.

What offset are your wheels - front and rear - and can anyone please tell me what the standard offset is?

What is the effect on the steering of non-standard offsets?

Also, has anyone had trouble with getting proper alignment with non-standard offsets?

I think I read somewhere on a thread that the offset has to be changed once you fit bigger wheels? Is this right? If so, what is the ideal offset for 19's and 20's?

My twin turbo Soarer is very sensitive to changes in the front steering geometry - so I'm trying to do as much homework as I can in reation to the G35.

Im thinking about getting the same setup

You guys actually dont know what you are talking about when you say that. Again I am repeating myself, 245/35s and 285/30 are equivalent in thread height. 35 is the height mesured by a percentage of the width of the tire. being a 245(Smaller) than a 285(Bigger). 35%/245 and 30%/285 it makes it like within 0.25cm.. so Please do your homework before saying that kind of stuff.. Thanks
