I'm running a 9.5 with a 285/35-19 and the tire clears, but WOW, it's close.
P.S. You cannot roll the fenders on G35's. Nope. Not enough fender to use, plus you'll crack the paint, Etc when trying to bend it. A local mod shop recommended triming (cutting) it down with a dremel. Yet another reason to own a dremel.
Luckily mine fit OK, but going much wider just can't be that good. In a hard corner, that tire would flex or the wheel could bump on the road and that would be a BAD THING. IMO.

I have GT-7s 10.5 et24 on the rear of mine w/stock suspension. Click on my username and check out my profile. Tire 275/35/19. It's pretty much flush w/the fender. I think it looks nice, friends like it too.

here is the pic of my car with 9.5 in the front and 10.5 in the front.If you want to get 10.5 in the rear, make sure you get right offset. I have 10.5 on my car and it does not rub against the fender at all. If you are thinking about volk wheels, its usually 22 offset.

i think if im going to run 10.5 im going to go with 285/30 tires, 275 is just not wide enough... anyone here run a 20x10.5 with 285/30 tires lowered on eibach pro kit? you think it will rub?
9.5 f 10.5 r is the way to go. 10.5 looks so crazy. 285 tires are coo, but honestly 275's look almost perfect on a 10.5 rim. doesnt really look that stretched. and the look of it is just like, DAYUM!
stock suspension should be fine with the 9.5 f 10.5 r. only thing you might need to consider is an alignment.
I dont think everyone gets wider rims just for the fatty lip. Of course that is a main factor. But the look of the wider rims are just sick. If you've ever seen a M3 from the back compared to the regular 3 series BMW's, you'd know what Im talking about. Its not just for the lip. Plus, I think the rims stick out just a bit with a 10.5 which also looks sick. But 10.5 is as wide as Id ever go tho. I know people with custom rims that go up to 11.

Graphite King,
I'm running on Volk SF Challenges 19x9.5 (+28) F & 19x10.5 (+23) R with Toyo 245/35 & 275/35 on my G35C 2004. There's no rubbing issues with the stock susp.
