Question 20 inch rims/ lowering/how much? and what kind?

i just order 20 inch rims for my 05 g35 coupe. I plan on putting 30 profile tires on the front and back to go with the rims. The one question i have is how low should i plan on lowering my car? I don't want that gap to occur from the car to the wheels....

Yea i was thinking lowering it about 1.2 in the fornt and 1.1 in rear with the eibach lowerin coils, but like i said dont want a gap to happen becasue of the new rims...
i live in chicago so i would have to take them off every nov. so loweirng 1.7 the car could be to much when i go back to 18's

No I don't think so at all the DF210's are rated at 1.7 - Front 1.3 in the rear

I got the NF210 for the 350Z which are 1.2 all the way around the add another .5 drop for putting Z spring on a G... last I measured I was around 1.6in drop on all 4 corners and I have no issues...
