20's on a normal coupe and 21's on a widebody are perfect size IMO.

you also need to think about how bad your spedometer's gonna be off as well.. email ralph@wheelsnext.com..

He put 22s on his G Coupe (He also used to be a member of this forum, he's since sold the car now).. I'm sure he could lead you in the right direction.. I got my 20" TSW Cadwells from wheelsnext.com from him.. He was very knowledgable and helped a lot.. Tell him Tony sent you..

please research what offset means and also spend some time in the picture threads to see what kind of wheels people have put on their g35s

but max is 20s, if you get 22s.. well get some and you'll find out

I personally love my 20s, but they do have an increased stopping radius, and w/ some rims, 20s are very heavy.. Most people say the performance on a 19" rim is superior.. I've never had 19s so I can't say.. 19" tires are also more expensive than 20" tires.. so that's a plus for 20s..

20s is max I would go.
This is a decent looking car, I wouldn't 'donk' it up.
Plain gay if you ask me.

I have 19s and I'm very happy with them.

There's numerous things to consider when buying rims over 20"....visual perception, they just ruin the way your G35 looks. Cost, tires are expensive and the larger you go the more they cost and they won't last 15K miles....fact! How about ride quality, the smaller the sidewall the worse the ride. Then there's pot holes, with a small sidewall it doesn't take much to destroy a rim or two....Ouch! Bigger isn't better if you know what your doing, ask your g/f....

Better site for wheel/tire comparison. I've used both. It also gives general suggestions on what will fit, but you are trying to push bundaries (of physics, if not taste- lol), so just take the suggestions a a general guide.

Finding wheels that give the look you want can be a lot more compicated that you would first think.
