You will only need spacers if the offset of your rims are +23 and lower, also if you have a bbk you may need them. But again, offset of the wheel you choose will determine a need.
Size of wheel does not matter, 20, 19, 18, 17.
If the offset is say +30 on stock brakes you are safe for sure. Offsets in the low 20's and even lower like freddie07 an robzone +0 +7 and so on are generally custom wheels starting at $3k no tires.

Grow some thicker skin or don't ask the relatively large group of G owners who tend to prefer Volks/Works/BBS/equivalent wheels...

its a full time job for enthusiasts, holes, curbs, speed bumps, driveways at angles if u can't deal. Stay stock
--also u want to go 9 or 9.5 front, 10 10.5 rear, or stay stock, save you $
-- like they said above the offsets are weak so it won't look right, stay stockk and save your money
Or
-- if money is tight don't waste it here, biggest waste of money is this hobby, nothing economical about it, stay stock then

I dont get mad if people tell me they dont like the wheels a handful of others have said it over and over but this person is just telling me IF U CANT AFFORD 20S AND DONT WANT TO SWERVE AROUND POTHOLES STAY STOCK DONT BUY THE 19S U LIKE!
And if my parents bought my G what a day that would be. I work full time nights and go to college fulltime with student loans to pay off out through the *** money is nothing to me i enjoy life. I JUST DONT WANT 20S FORGIVE ME GTreeFive ill never ask for any advice on the forums again.

i think the underlying principle behind stay stock when asking about a certain set of wheels is stay stock for NOW until you can save up money for quality wheels that will look both great and will last you
i can't speak for the other members on here but for the benefit of the doubt, they have the right idea.. don't rush into modding the car, save money, research THEN buy based on your research and saved up money
as to the wheels you want, you will need spacers to make them sit flush, no one said you have to be low and have to swerve around the streets but a car with wheels and no drop looks really tacky and cheap imo, and these type of wheels are not a common choice among g35 drivers
so don't take this personal advice as an attack to you as a person, just passing on some knowledge that i know

They are just saying, don't cheap out on wheels. They are probably the ONE thing every single person notices on a car. Especially if they are aftermarket wheels.
Don't worry about the size of them, the bigger the slower. If you're running 20s that weigh more you're going to drastically slower than stock rays.
This line is used on every single thread like this "you bought an expensive car, keep the parts expensive or keep it stock"

Nothings wrong with 19's, id actually prefer 19's. Seems to fit the look of the car better. But like they are saying, dont rush into buying a set of wheels, or modding your car at that. You might get these rims, then a month later see pics on here of people with work VS-XX or Volk sf challenges and wish you had saved up your money for them. But idk these rims with the right offsets might look good, do as you wish, gl.
