19's or 20's for a coupe (sorry if repetititve)

Sorry if this thread is a repetitive one, but I wanted to see what fellow posters think or feel about which rim size is best for aG35 coupe.

I was intially going to get 20" rims, but after seeing 19's on a coupe yesterday, I didn't see a difference and the car and rims looked clean.

pretty much everyone is going to say 19 is the biggest you should go unless you have a kit all the way around

Well I plan to have a kit on the Kumara front bumper / sides / and a rear diffuser.

What do you think?

18, 19, or 20's, all 3 look good on a G

18's HAVE to be aggressive and you have to be low otherwise NO!
19's most forgiving looks wise, you don't need to be dumped
20's classiest obviously and IMO you need to be low otherwise meh

20's fills in the wheel well a lot better. 19s for better performance though.

What about for daily use?

More for style than performance as I dont plan on doing any mods other than an exhaust and intake.

I just plan on lowering the car with a bodykit. Don't want that dirty south oversize rim look or the slammin look but somewhere in between

go with the 19's for daily use. 20's look tacky unless the fitment is perfect.

20s and fit them in nicely don't get 20s to "fill in the gap" thats some ricer talk

in my opinion the g35 looks best with 20s but the fitment has to be dead on

also keep in mind 19 inch tires are much more expensive than what 20 inch tires run.

OP, what kind of rims you getting?
anything with polished lips, i'd go for 20's.
no lips with spokes all the way out to edge of rim, i'd go for 19's.
