Default Wheel fitment

I was wondering if I could possibly fit a 20x10.5 in the front on my 350z without adding camber or rolling my fenders

Sure, you probably could but...

Question is meaningless without offset.

To run some exclusive GT-R TE37s Matt Black ? Doubtful.... my best guess here is some kind of stance dish wheel.

OK, fair enough. One/only thing I'll say is 20" wheels are going to be heavy boat anchors resulting in NOTICEABLE slowing of acceleration, handling, braking.

This isn't true for all 20s as you can shop around for decent weight ones - as mentioned, the GTR 20s are pretty dang light for their size at around 21# but will easily cost $5k - but Vossens and others are easily in the upper 20s and with proper tires will easily hit 60#/corner (where ~40#-45# is the optimum).

Best to keep to 18-19 lightweight wheels on Z33. "Less IS more" when it comes to wheels.

I agree with you. 20s does seem little to much wheel for a small car like a 350z, just so stoked that vossen wheels which cost anywhere from 3000-8000 for a set of wheels and some are listed on sale for 700-1800 for a complete set

from my own experience, yes 20" are heavy. I just finally replacing my 20 to 18 and the steering feel much much better and light.
And similar with your case, i bought my 18 for cheap long time ago and i save it for later and finally the time has come.
So if you want, just buy those vossen and save it for later. Or you can try it on your Z and if you don't like it just sell it
