Hello! So I purchased a 2005 G35 coupe. I currently have the 19" stock chrome wheels and I am thinking of purchasing some Rohana Rl10 20" wheels staggered. 20x10 in the rear and I know there are two options of sizes for the front 20x8.5 or 20x9 any suggestions?

There is a sticky thread above this thread about after-market wheels & offsets. Good place to start.

And FYI if you have the 19" sport wheels you really won't find much aftermarket wheels that are better. The Ray's 19" are forged.

Thanks Biggie. Everyone keeps telling me the same thing. They all suggest to just lower the car.

Lower it if you want. I'm stock ride height but have some Z33 suspension to put on (1/2 inch drop).

Also if you want to improve looks of the wheels you can look for spacers that move them out a little. Would like to see what a stock or slightly lowered 03-07 Coupe would look like with 5-15mm spacer on the OEM 19s.
