Optimal rim size with out suspension mod

Hey guys,
Just bought a 09 G37 S last Friday and I was wondering what is the optimal 20' size rims without changing the suspension? Also will I need a camber kit without lowering the car?

Sorry if this has been addressed, I looked in the search engine and couldn't find a good answer. Thanks for all the help.

If you don't lower it, you won't need a camber kit. I definitely recommend lowering it, it'll look 10x better. Just my 2 cents.

The optimal 20" wheel is one that is 19.5"-20.5" plus/minus .5"

^^^Wow! Where are you going to find 20' (foot) size rims?

All jokes aside though, you don't need a camber kit since you aren't changing the suspension. Now, if you're planning on lowering it, then you might need a camber kit. I said MIGHT because some people like the negative camber, even the small negative camber you get when you use lowering springs as conservative as Eibach. I'm planning on getting front and rear camber kits when it's time to replace my tires.

FYI, after dropping my G using Eibachs, I have not gotten any noticeable abnormal tire wear, and it's been at least 5 months now.

Hope this helps.

Also, don't get upset at the veterans on this forum for asking simple questions, they have seen these types of threads started so many times during their years here... But use your search feature, there is a LOT of information in this forum. Most newbie and advanced issues have already been discussed, and the majority of them have a DIY already. So search, search, and then search some more!
