Exclamation Wheel and set up suggestions please

So I have finally decided to go with the best priced and best looking wheels (in my opinion) for my 2004 g35 coupe. I am going to buy Raderwerks Mten85 wheels in a 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. I know the wheels are not that wide but this is unfortunately the biggest size they offer. I was curious if some of you experts could help recommend some ideas on what I should do to give my car the most aggressive look I can. The wheels have an offset of +18 in the front and +21 in the rear. Right now my car is completely stock, but I plan to do either coil overs or air bags depending on pricing for suspension right away.

Do any of you think I should run spacers or any kits of this sort?
And for this size wheel what tire size do you recommend? Also to have the stretched tire look what tire size would I need to run with these wheels as well?

The picture of the wheels is attached to the thread, let me know what you think of them. Also I have a desert platinum G, would you like the look of a brushed silver wheel or flat black wheel on my car?

I appreciate all positive suggestions!
Thanks G's

Max

stick to what works. Get wider wheels and lower offsets than what you posted.

If you want the look, look at other wheels. Going with that setup and stretched tires, will require about 20mm spacers. plus stretching a tire on a 8.5 would look best with 215 tire, but even then; to some that might be minimum... and that's smaller than oem size.
