Good luck, that's like me trying to fit a 20 x 12 +0 on my sedan. I have enough issues as it is with a 10.5 +0 with -7.5 camber and the fenders rolled, pulled, and hammered out...and then the inner quarter panels hammer out. Next step is literally widebody. I still rub very slightly. Make sure you have quality camber and toe arms if you're going to run lots of negative camber. Maybe you should try going with a 12.5?

Or if you want minimal work your options are to camber alot, but it gets to a point that if you're on coilovers (assuming you are because only way to get air and have to arms, you need a custom made spring bucket), or as mentioned just don't go as wide and as low of an offset. Otherwise, suck it up and deal with the cost bashing up the fenders. If you're in So Cal and need someone I'll refer you to who did mine. Get ready for the paint chipping though if you want it extreme.

LOL! 13.5.. First I am going to ask you, is your G35 your daily driver? If not, go ahead and do it and be one of the first to shine on this site. If not, go ahead and cross that idea out because you WILL start hating it not long after you get it on. I run 10 and 12 slammed about 2.5'' off the ground and I'll tell you, it is a BISH to drive around. I know it sounds tight when you can say I got a 13.5 in the rear, but think about whether the price you pay is worth of doing it or not. Just my 2cents.

whats wrong with a 12 in the back? why 13.5? you know you can do the same thing with lower widths and have a lot less harder time trying to fit it in right?

1+ on 12's in the rear.

13.5 is just really pushing it.

Thanks all for the input. It seems there are more pluses to getting 12s, and also they'll be easier to sell in the future.

Here are the custom sizes available

Since I am a noob in customs rims would appreciate input on what offset i should get, how does this sound?
20x12r +12 offset
20x9.5f -7 offset

Thanks again.

why a 9.5 in the front? it's obvious you have a lot more to learn, i know an actual search is pretty hard to do but its pretty beneficial, you are not the first to ask about aggressive specs
10/12 is optimal
