20" fx45 wheels on g35 coupe

Im wanting to install the 20" wheels that come on the fx45. I am wondering will it look good or will it raise my car up? Also im wondering if anyone has already done this that could send me pics so i can see what it will look like. One last question, will i have major problems with rubbing, bottoming out, and will i be riding on basically rubber bands and go through tires every 3 to 6 months? send pics to Steph079@bama.ua.edu

Someone Photoshop it for him so maybe he'll change his mind.

i have seen the pic somewhere on the forum of a G on 20's off a FX .. you might have to get lower profile tires, but they should fit with little if any adjustments

20's will fit on our cars.. anything higher than that won't. That looks like a pretty good shopjob to me.

doesn't look bad and can only look better with a drop.

Like this drop? But FWIW,the picture of the FX45 seems like it was taken from the exact same angle and distance as this G35. The rims were basically a perfect overlay, so this prob is the right size, as they were barely bigger than the 19" rim that I pasted it on. (in reference to the 24" comment)

Honestly, that doesn't look bad at all...but i still doubt the offsets would work on the coupe.
