thanks for the replies guys. its just i was getting these fuzion tires for cheap 245/35/19 and i noticed they only offered 275/30/19 in the rears. You think I should just run different tires (fuzions in the front and sumpin' else in the rear)?? Yeah, its been sorta a toss up for me as to running the stretch look versus the squared look....'cuz g35tt's car looks pretty sick with the 255 up front and 285 at the rear. ...but, i really like the stretch look also. Anyways, yeah, i'm definitely rolling my fender. That's why I started a thread on that in the Hawaii forum. 
Just dont' have time right now to go to the shop and quote 'cuz its pro bowl weekend and the hotel i work at is swamped with guests, players, staff, fans, and people trying to get autographs for a profit. ...but anyways, that's my situation.

Also the rubbing might cause the paint to chip and peel... = areas for rust to set in.
If you dont believe me..well I am running a +12 offset. You might want to look at mine before you mount yours so you have some sort of an idea on what you are getting yourself into.
There are other ways around this though. Just got to be a little creative and wonder off the path of every day people thinking....... You can still get the look of the wider stance without getting really wide tires.
BTW..those are going to be some wicked looking lips...but make sure you dont catch a curb as well.

The Fuzion's are not that bad. They are made by Bridgestone (SO-3 for those not in the know) and for the money they grip pretty well. You can push these tires pretty hard and very little road noise. Then again...when you drop you car and run on "solid" shocks what do you expect when it comes to NVH.
In regards to your question, I am running TE-37's. Took the most aggressive offset as possible without going to a custom setup. Next set though I think that I am going to run a negative offset just for the hell of it. Still looking for a decent light weight set of 18's to run.......ahhh still thinking....money on rims or spend it rebuilding the engine.....
If you want to take a look at them just let me know when you got the time. I will be free on Saturday morning after 11 and on Sunday till about 3.
Before I forget. If you are going to stretch the tires...be advised that the shops here dont seem to like to mount them and thus tend to scratch the edges a little here and there. I dont think that its the mounting that causes the issues....more like the dismounting since they have to get in the tire to pull one side over the rim to remove it.
If you drop your G as low as jb's...you will have clearance issues with speed bumps. Not only that, but you will not be able to enter alot of parking garages and driveways. Also lower car = more damage from rocks kicked up by the vehicles in front of you. Just a FYI when dropping your G. There is practicality and there is just for show, our cars are low on the underside already..you will scrape the trans mounts and pipes under there.

^ TRUE STORY D. i'm an 1" low and my trans mounts scraps in waiks (feel it in my shifter!), my exhaust pipes/muffler scraps/dented in waiks, malls, and Restaurant Row. with my Data front Labia, i have 3/4" left before it's grounded when going into the Restaurant Row garage too. i don't even have sounds! I'm 168lbs too. if you see me entering a dangerous area, you know i hold up traffic regardless! fack them, they don't know!
good luck on tires mang!

I used to scrape really bad in Ward Center..had to lift the car a bit actually. I know that the Y pipe is getting hit every so often as well due to the ripped metal fibers.
Ahhhhh so its Y-O-U!! ^ thats causing the cars to backup in to the street in Restaurant Row....damn you...
Back to the topic though....dropping your car too low will cause some serious issues and not to mention that Infiniti will not want to touch it...or they will charge you a fee when you take it in for oil services and such.

hmmm...so don't slam it? yeah, i guess i do scrape here and there so, dropping it lower will prolly do more harm then good. I just want a nice, even drop, no gaps w/ the 19z. but yeah, i guess its 35z in the rear for me. just gonna get a different brand. any suggestions which would be closest to fuzion zri type tread.
^ closest meaning, same looking thread pattern? if so, i know the dunlop sp9's, and falken ze 512's look similar. the sp9's are quieter though. see aron at Euro's. he had the sp9 shoelaces for his sp1's on his black coupe before. he got them through Euro's too.
Jeff at Euro's is a good business man.
here's a pic of aron's previous "asset." *you can kinda see the tread pattern: dunlop sp9's:
here's the falken ze512's:
