Chico or any other of the wheel Gods out there..

Search results came out good...I know they will fit....but just need to hear from a couple board members before I make the purchase. This is going on a 2003 G35 Sedan dropped onTein Htechs.

The Wheels:
20x8.5 with a 36+ offset on 245-40 rubber all the way around.

My question is...how will this look? ride? will I rub? etc...i've been waiting on 20's and this thread will either make it or break it...Thanks in advance!!!

Should look fine and fit without rubbing, about a few mm from flush with the rear fenders. Also for 20's you should get 245/35.

I have 20's dropped on S-Techs, which are a little lower than H-Techs, and my back tires are tucked a little bit.

Don't go too low in the front or they will rub. My +40's rub from time to time on big bumps.

Yeah my 19's with 40's look a bit tucked and I'm on htechs as well. 20's with 35's would probably look better.

I cannot answer as to whether or not you'll fit/rub, but I can add this.....Your O.D. will be 27.7 inches....stock O.D. is 26.3 inches. You'll be over by 5.3%. Rule of thumb is you should stay within +/- 2 to 3% from OEM. Your speedo will be off by a lot. I run 245/40/19's (O.D. = 26.7 inches) and my speedo is off by about 2-3 MPH. I'm pretty sure with 20's, you'd want 35 series instead of 40.

Yes on 20's 245/35's are perfect. Very close to the oem diameter.
