wheel supension ?

I have yet to get my g35 sedan and Ive been reading this all over this site and grabbing info......Im a honda guy that is stepping into the whole Nissan/Infiniti scene......
My first question is, i plan on going with S-techs and 19's........What offset would work the best and would 19s be too much or will 18' do?.....And what tire size would be best with the 19's or 18's?????........
Which would you recommend 18's or 19's.........Sure 19's would look better but would it really sacrifice comfort?........Im not planning on racing but the streets around S.A. are pretty ****ty in sum parts......

Whats the deal with these Luff wheels Ive been seeing?........Are they any good?........I do like the Work VS-xx's but at a quarter of the price the Luffs have my attention......

If not the S-techs what would you recommend as a low but comfortable ride but with no wheel gap?....
Might be too much to answer but I have alot to learn and any info would be helpful.......I just want to know what to buy when the time comes......

19s are pretty much standard here. most common i would think is 9.5/10.5

i see lots of people with 255/275 which is probably what i will get with my works in a few weeks

imo, offsets for the coupe should be in the high teens and low twenties

i myself am getting the work vs-xx because (no offense to anyone) the luff wheels have weak lips if i remember correctly

after spending some time here, youll learn that you get what you pay for

im not sayin luff wheels arent legit..lots of people have them and are very happy with them..but if i were you i wouldnt settle for anything less than perfection its a shame parts for our cars cost so damn much

my friend is dropped on s techs. he has no gap whatsoever. however, he doesnt have a camber kit so his negative camber is terrible.

i didnt really notice much of a comfort difference when i got 19's. i have luff wheels like u were asking about. like ahero said above the lips are a little weak but the price was definately more appealing to me. as far as a drop with no wheel gap i get the tanabe nf210. it drops it enough so there is no wheel gap and the ride seems pretty much like stock.
