Question 20s on the sedan without a drop.

Does anyone have pics or know how it looks when you have 20" rims on the G37 without a drop? I am interested in getting new wheels but don't know if I want to drop it...

Also what are the specs for our cars/wheel fitment?

Thanks

You need to drop it, it will look like a 4x4 offroad g35 if you don't.

So it will look like an EX?

But yeah, I see it definitely does need a drop. Still looks seksy though.

Definately could use a drop to look best. This is a car we did that was stock height. This car was weighed down a little in the rear because he took his stock wheels & tires home with him.

20x8.5 with 245/35/20
20x10 with 275/30/20

Seriously will a 2005 G35X look about the same on 20s at stock height. I am getting a set of 20s but I can not drop my car due to the area I live in plus a baby on the way.

Looks fine to me without the drop - plus living in Colorado I wouldn't want it to become too much of a snowplow (like my Z was). The 17's on my X look terribly small with my black exterior.

Maybe I'd go for 20" with a higher sidewall.

2 very nice looking G's there guys - they look great to me without, or with the drop.

Yup 20" axis penta. I'm going lower and changing my wheels to something wider. These wheels will be for sale very soon. If you put 20"s on an X it will sit higher than the sport model.

if you are worried about being to low, just dont go to low. but atleast throw some z springs on there and drop it an inch. that inch wont hurt the ride quality at all but will make a huge difference in looks
