hey guys just joined and recently got an 04 g35 coupe and ashamed to say i don't know much about cars except the g is absolutely beautiful. everything is stock and i'm planning on getting the varrstoen es2 with an aggressive look but i keep hearing about rubbing so if anyone can help me out with width/offset etc it'd be so helpful. i don't plan on lowering it because i'm already scraping my driveway and the winters can be pretty bad here

What would you recommend? 235/40 F and maybe 255-265/35 R? Thanks

^hard to say, all depends on your drop and camber, rears won't look good on a mild drop, no matter what tire size IMO

Can someone post pics of before and after pics of pulled fenders? I'm debating pulling mine but I don't want them to look like this in the rears. Now I'm not saying his car sucks or anything like that. His car is nice I just don't like his rear fenders.

That's more of a flared fender.

K I'm just making sure. If I did that I would pay to go widebody. I'm not here picking on fenders like that. It's just not my style. They look like hacked up fenders to me PERSONALLY. If I go widebody I'm also not going to have a flat part all of it will be round. I'm just seeing if people have before and afters.

The flat part will bow out some depending on the pull

Cool I'm debating on going with a lipped wheel vs a non.The only lipped wheel in my price range that i like are the ccw's and they only go up to 18"...unless I go used. What's your option on 18" vs 19" on the G?

Not too many G35s on CCWs. I was one of them.

I had the CCW LM20 and it was a good wheel but the faces are tiny. The CCW lips step down by about 2-3 inches so the face is a 15" face.

It looked pretty good though. They'd never clear big brakes so I can't go back to them.

Majority of people on here like the look of 19's along with a slammed look. I personally started with oem 19's and then varr 19's and did the whole slammed thing but would now choose an 18", meaty tire setup. Point is that it all depends on what your priorities are, and what you think looks good.
