Hey what's up? I'm new to the forum and I'm a new Infiniti owner. I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answered before. I own a 2000 Infiniti I30. I'm interested in throwing on a set of 20X8.5 (245/35/20) front and 20X10 (275/30/20) N the rear. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to NICO!
I don't really have an answer for you, but the only thing you might want to consider is the added weight and tire wear. If you're alright with all of that, then you might be able to squeeze those wheels in there, but the tires might stick out a bit.

Do you know what wheels you'll be using? Offset will play a big role in determining whether or not they'll fit, and how they'll fit.

I was just going to say this. The fronts should fit without much of a problem, but tires that wide in the rear are almost certainly going to require rolling and pulling your fenders. I'm going to ignore the fact that you're putting staggered rims on a FWD car, since you probably don't care about your handling. And I have yet to see 20s on a 4th/5th gen that don't look stupid, but hey, it's your car.
