I didnt want my car to have the same fitment like every other G out there.

Offsets are a taste, You got The wheels/offsets you wanted, which does not fit my taste and i got the wheels/offset that i want and they obviously dont fit your taste.

Unwarranted you say ?? Check out what the OP said.

So I am going to do just like the OP....I want to be different. I have 12" Pistons front and 6" Pistons rear. I am going to call Sharif and tell him I want to be different....I want him to switch things around and put the 12" in the rear. Don't worry....I will be cautious.....

Can you just imagine driving across an intersection in a car like the one in the picture below at 45 to 50 mph and not seeing the change in elevation until its too late and then looking in your rearview mirror just in time to see that you just left your fenders behind ....

I've read everyone's comments and I'm not here to choose sides but I'm confused on one thing. I don't understand how some of you can come in here and say that someone's wheels and tires are the "wrong" sizes. There is no "wrong" sizes when it comes to your opinion and your car. Who are you to say what is right or wrong. There is no "all mighty right and wrong" list of wheel and tire sizes for the Z. It's what you think looks best on your car. It just boggles my mind that some of you can have the audacity tell someone they are wrong when this is all an opinionated subject. I can understand being wrong if he came in here and said that this was his new road racing wheels setup but seriously. Let it go.

That's exactly what we are discussing. An idiot doing something wrong and using the reason that "he likes it" as reasoning. I like black smoke i think its MAD VIP IMPORT STYLEZ YO and you cant tell me different.

Guys, pardon my ignorance, but I have a doubt: I'm aware that Infinity and Nissan are the 2 wings of the same bird, but: do Zeds/G35s share the same chassis? Except for the tail lights & other details, they're like fraternal twins! Thanks, in advance, for your clarification.

His rear fitment looks "perfect" and he has more tire than you can fit with your setup.

However common sense tell me that if the wheels stock out past the leading edge of the fender. If the suspension bottoms out damage will occur when the wheel hits the fender. Common sense tells me that if im going with a custom wheel size i call someone who knows the correct offset. Im sure if you call HRE or Iforged and tell them you want a 20x11.5" wheel on the rear. They will say the offset does not matter.
