how big can you go?

whats the biggest rims/tires you can get with having air bags for suspension?....
like when you drop your car with the air ride would 20x9 in the front and 20x10.5 in the rear with stretched tires hit the wheel well? also how wide can you go.?.... I'm just curious because when i get a G I'm definitely bagging it.

how many G's on here are equipped with air ride suspension?
could you post pics slammed and raised? side view and front/rear view....

thanks all

EDIT: one more question ... what are the pros and cons on air ride setup..
also i know i posted this in the wheels & tire section because it is about wheels/tires even though im talking about air ride as well. lol

whoops sorry thanks for the catch...... a coupe..
i know there is a gray G35 i think the persons name is shaneg ? if im wrong please correct me... he has bags. that car is totally an inspiration to "my future G" lol...

so 20x8.5 and 20x10 should do it.....
what kind of offsets do you think would be good?
EDIT: i been studying rims but i cant seem to understand offsets well. so i pretty much i still don't know what offsets are.

Vonces aper? Look forward to seeing your G with an aggressive setup. If you need air red lemme know, I can get you Universal Air Suspension for a good deal.

The width of the wheel and offset really depends what you're trying to go for? Do you want the rims to barely clear the fenders? Do you want to go with stretched tires? What kind of work are you willing to do?

To get wide wheels with low offsets to work you would have to most definitely roll your fenders, but probably pull them. Unless you want to go as far as not pulling them, but you must roll them so the tires won't rub.

From there you can decide what width and offsets to go with.

i want the meanest and most aggressive look. seriously.. i figured air ride would be best for me in MA because you can raise and lower your car whenever.....because we have CRAPPY roads and everything.
and i don't care what i have to do to get a aggressive look i will roll my fenders i am planning on it, but i don't know what pulling exactly is but sounds good... can someone fill me up on that? even though I'm going to google " what is pulling fenders " after i submit this post.
again lol another EDIT: what is Vonces aper?

Vonces aper = whats up bro in armenian. I thought you were armenian because of your username.

Pulling fenders is simply that. The way you roll the fenders, you roll it aggressively and pull the fender out. THe more you pull, the more the spot welds will show and the more the paint may crack. Doing so will require you to repaint the fenders.

You can also adjust camber, that's another thing you have to decide on. Some people don't like much camber, others will have some and keep it reasonable (around 2-4 degrees of negative camber) and some, like me, don't care and will have excessive negative camber (-4.7 in front and -7.5 in rear).

The more negative camber you have, the more clearance you gain. If you're trying to do something like Shane, then you should be doing 10's up front 12's in the rear or at least 11's in the rear and at least 9.5 in the front. Offsets should be in single or negative digits. Tires will need to be stretched.
