I searched hear and a few places and couldn't really find what I was looking for... I wanna go 19s or 20s, but don't want to have to use airbags since I already have some Cali. Custom springs on my car.... I just wanna know what size wheels and tires I can still fit without any major rubbing issues and pulling fenders and stuff? THANKS!

the best thing to do is look for a set of FX35/45 rims in 20" if you're really in love with the 20's idea. If you're okay with 18" go for some 02-06 Q wheels. It is completely a waste of money to guy high quality aftermarket rims for such an old car, you can find cheap OEM FX rims that are going to balance perfectly, will fit your car 100%, and you can get them cheap.

Take a look at e-bay, there are always up there:

or this place, which I have NEVER used but seen the site before you might call them:

go factory...

Keep looking, I would widen my search to FX35/45 rims too. Those are nice and fit perfectly. Same thing with 3rd Gen Q's, also no spacers required and look nice.

Maybe, but the G35 19's are forged construction and you won't find many (if any) aftermarket forged 19's for the same money.

It took a long time for me to find a decent (curbed scuff) set for cheap (<$500). The deals are out there you just have to look and be ready to pounce.

Once I find something else to put on my SC400, I'll have a set of "curbed/scuffed" for sale.

18" will fit better and allow you to mount a tire that will support the G50. 19" are on the edge of usable and 20" are way over.

Read the posts here, especially by Q45tech concerning dynamic tire loading. Once you understand the parameters, you will also understand that 19" wheels are for curb queens and not a good handling G50.
