Rota rims

I would like to know if a set rota rim 18" x 8" + 35mm offset all around is a good choice for a 2004 g35 coupe 6mt sport?

NOPE

You would be better off with your stocker.

The offset is more for a sedan. The rears would be tucked a lot. I would get a wider wheel if you want to run the same size all the way around also a lower offset.

Depending on the deal. If you are talking about a few hundred bucks than go for it and buy some spacers for the front and rear.

didn't buy tires yet a little undecided about size and brand.
but i believe that since there 18" x 8" i dont have many options i have to stay in 225 Front 245 Rear range.
i
What do u recommend?
by the way i really appreciate the help.
i aslo own a 2008 jeep srt-8 and i changed the tires on that also to Yokohama 245 295
and it worked out fine but the g is a different car.

You can do 245 all the way around or you can keep it staggered. I would just keep it staggered, since that is the way it comes stock. I would buy them, put the tires on and see how much room you have to play with before buying spacers.

On my G I have 255 and 295 on mine.
