New to the game, looking for helpful advice

I just got a 2003 G35 sedan. I am eager to begin customizing the vehicle but have some questions you experts can probably clear up for me in a quick second.

Wheels:
What are the biggest wheels the car can take without probs? 20s?
What widths heights and offsets are applicable?

Lowering Springs:
What sort of height do I want to lower the car to while maintaining drive quality etc... what other considerations go into springs? Do i have to make other suspension adjustments? Will the extent to which the car is lowered effect the size of rims that I can put on it?

Also:
I live in Oregon and there aren't a lot of body shops around town that are very experienced with these sort of installs (body kits, etc.)
Can anyone give me advice on finding a body shop to do my body kit installs and paint work? How do I know if they will do a good job? what other considerations should I keep in mind?

Any other knowledge you can bestow? Anything you wish you knew when you first started?

All of your advice is greaty appreciated!!!!!
Thanks!!!


Sasha

Don't go with 20's. This ain't no gangster ride. Save your 20's for a Chrysler 300. Oh, I guess you can go with what you want. Just don't say I didn't "bestow".

bigsash, if you're going to drop the car there isnt really a point in getting 20s, you can just get 19s and with a drop it will look awesome

i dont plan on dropping my car, thats the reason im planning on getting 20s first thing next year
