I bought my dream car. 2004 G35 coupe. I see there alot of opinions on what kind of rim and tire combos to put on my car. Should I stay with stock 18`s? Can I go to 20`s without any fender mods? I want an aggresive look too. Can anyone give me an idea??

You can and should do 20s, and at the LEAST 19s, IMO 18s look to small on G35s.

As long as you get the right offset you can do 20s w/ a drop and have no fender issues..

Nice aggressive look would be 19's. Maybe like a 22mm offset in the back and 28mm offset in the front. Fit some 265/35/19's for the rear, and 245/40/19's slammed up front = very nice.

It depends on what you are going to do with the 'G'. As far as handling, straight line performance, you could suffer by going to too large of a rim. Other items can come into play as well such as brakes. I would try to stay as close as possible to the same circumference.

Besides these factors one other item to consider is availability. Make sure whatever you get you can get another when the need arises. I have found getting 19s on my other car to be fairly simple although I did have to wait a day or two even then.
