The G35 Coupe wheel thread to rule them all

OK, I have searched this forum (and a few others) and it appears that wheel upgrading on a G35 Coupe is more of an art than a science. So, here is your chance at immortality... for all those hundreds (or thousands) of future thread-searchers looking for concrete info on offsets, fender clearance, ride height, this can be the place they come to for those answers. If anyone has that info for each year of G35 Coupe please reply. I'll get it started with what I think I know:

2003/2004 G35 Coupe with Brembos and 18-inch wheels
-----------------------------------------------------

Original Offsets:
Front - +33
Rear - +33

Original Tire Sizes:
Front - 225/45-18
Rear - 245/45-18

What I (and many others) would like to see after the above information, is what wheel/tire combinations honor the original offset (no fender rolling, lines up with outside of car, or ride height/speedo problems) in various rim sizes (18", 19", 20", etc).

If you have an example of wheels/tires you know works (that are on your own car, for instance) mention them! And include pictures!

And let us all also know the impact (if any) of any given offset/wheel/tire/etc on the vehicle's VDC system, ABS, and tire pressure sensors.

If you know the answer to any year Coupe please use the above format and provide your answer... thanks for contributing!

I believe SFLG35 already has a thread going related to wheel sizes, offsets, camber and toe.

I found the thread you're referencing but it only contains info on offset of wheels. It doesn't seem to address all the items I listed.

Here is the link to that thread... (and he started it the same way I started mine - by referencing that he had searched already):

Real helpful crowd here, huh? It's a wonder people can ever buy wheels and tires with no info forthcoming in the forums...

According to this sticky, your information is incorrect. Not to mention your information regarding the OEM 18s isn't much help if you don't state the widths of the wheels.

https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-tires/70901-g35-factory-oem-wheel-sizes-offsets.html

Having flush fenders without modifying fenders are two things that don't often go with each other.

There were no significant changes to the coupe until the G37, right? The only difference that would separate 03-04 from 05-07 is Brembo/non-Brembo.
