I have a 2004 G35 coupe, and I'm looking to get aftermarket wheels.. Have done the pricing and all that.

Wheel selection: TSW Caldwell 20" 8.5 front 10 rear

Tire Choice: Nitto nt555 245/35/20 front285/30/20 rear

Do you foresee any issues w/ me getting this to fit or any extra parts I'll need? Anything else I should know? Do I need to worry about rolling fenders? Should I go down to 19"? If I do that will I have to lower the car? Just trying to get all the info I can.

If you get 20's try to go with 265/35R20. depending on the offset you may have problems. 245/30R20 or 225/35R20 for the front. 19's and you'll have 225/40 or 245/35R20. The overall diameter of the tires needs to be the same or close. The rears between 26.5 and 27.1 inches diameter, and the fronts between 25.8 and 26.4 inches diameter.

offset is gonna be +20 (20x8.5) front and +25 (20x10) on the back..

Got 245/35/20 on the front and 285/30/20 on the back to maintain same wheel diameter.
