Edit, didn't see it includes tires.

Hard to suggest wheels for your car when we don't even know what it looks like. I'm guessing it's otherwise stock, but what color is it?

Definitely consider Five Axis...

8.5inch all around isn't usuallly what people go for. More like 8.5 in front and 9.5 in back, especially for 20s

I think you should drop your car first, and then save up for the wheels. A nice drop will make your car look good with any wheels, and springs aren't that expensive. Aftermarket wheels at stock height is gonna look weird IMO. But good luck!

Also, with those widths and offsets, you're gonna need to buy wheels spacers.

That really depends on how aggressive you like it, but for the wheels you want to buy, I'd say +10 or +15. So you'd need 25-30mm spacers.

First, realize our coupes have staggered wheels. Rear is larger than front. This is good for RWD cars for better acceleration, launching, etc. There are coupes out there who run all four the same size (there are a ton of threads around here discussing the topic, but I'm keeping my coupe staggered).

My opinion is, if you're not going to lower the car, stay away from plus size wheels. They'll make you're wheel gap look bigger. If you're not going to lower, get 18". You'll good with 19" depending on the style of wheel. But if you go 20", your G will look like a lifted, off-roading monster truck. BTW, do you have OEM 18" or 19" Rays?

It's already been mentioned, but keep an eye out for the offset. For the G, you'll want something +35 or less (actually, in this case, the lower the number, the greater the offset, i think). The lower the offset, the more the wheels will stick out from the wheel well (which is a good thing, at least in my opinion), nothing lower than +20 to be safe. Unless you want to get spacers. Adding spacers "lowers" your offset. If you get a wheel with +40 and add a 20mm spacer, you're overall offset is not +20.

For tires, make sure you use this:
http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp
Plug in your stock tire size up top and put in your prospective tire size(s) below. Anything greater than a 3% difference, NO GO! Tire size will somewhat depend on your wheels selection.

I hope that helps.

also, "Good" rims would be Volks, Work, HRE, etc. You spent "good" money on your infiniti, expect to spend good money on "good" wheels Of course, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
