I'm running 225/45/18 pilots all around since I had major rubbing issues being lowered. Speedo is a bit off but very minor (2% i think). Don't roll your fenders..make the wheels fit the car, not the other way around.

Unless you need all the tire and lip you can fit!!!

Rolling is not hard and when you do it right you can fit a 275 to 285 on the rear.

Hi

I just bought a 04 G 35 sedan and I am also looking into putting coupe 18" on 04 Sedan. My questions are

1. Will the wheels off set cause more stress on suspension?
2. Will there be any loss in car's gravity or grip on road?
3. What is in fact "Rolling of fenders".

Thanks

1- potentially yes, but the fact that you are running 18's will cause more road feedback than a softer 17, remember you have less sidewall / sidewall.
2- the tires on the 18"s are 225 and 245. More width = more grip.
3 - rolling the fenders is using a tool to push up the fender. I personally think you should make the wheelsfit the car, not the other way around. However 245s on a non-lowered sedan fit great.

Coupe 19's are hot! If they made some good 19" track tires those would be my track wheels.
