275s are the widest I'd run on a 9" width, 285s will be pinched on those.

rims?

SO i was looking at some rims ether the niche essen matte black or the verde axis v99 satin black the niches are 20x9 front and 20x10 the website saids thats what fits my G37s and the verdes says it only fits 20x9 all around i woul rather go with a more aggressive look though so i was thinking the niches, but my main concern is if i put them would there still be huge gap between the wheel and the fender and the rear wheel between the bumper? or would it fit too big and scrape and might have to roll up the fenders or something? and what offset should i go with for the front and the rear? im also a bit confused with the bolt pattern? element wheels says its 5x4.5/114.3 and carid says 5x114.3? mainly what im looking for is a nice aggressive look for my car but without lowering and adding all the extra stuff something normal but kind of aggressive look for my car thanks!

Do you have a coupe or sedan? The main component that will play a factor in fitment is the offset of the wheels. Width should be okay, if you put a 10 in the rear, you would need a higher offset to compensate for the extra width. Something like a +25 for a coupe and a +45 for a sedan. Coupes can handle more aggressive wheels than sedan which is why I asked. And in terms of gap, that depends on if you're lowered and by how much.

Also, 5x4.5 and 5x114.3 are the same bolt pattern. (4.5 is in inches, 114.3 is in mm; 4.5 inches = 114.3 mm)

You're better off putting that money towards an exhaust and sway bars...where you'll actually increase performance unlike adding heavy cast wheels.
Also, I'd take some time and learn as much as you can about these cars and wheels in general before making a super important decision on them...do it right the first time.

Check the Niche website, better info there~
http://www.nicheroadwheels.com/essen-m147-w-12799.htm
If you stay stock suspension height I'd go w/ 19s, 20s look a bit off at stock height and the fender gap is further exaggerated w/ 20s.
Here's the spec page
http://www.nicheroadwheels.com/specs.cfm?id=4201
The best 19 fit would be 19x10 +40, and you could run 255 through 275 tires, but you will NEED to confirm brake clearance for your big Akebono calipers.
Since you like the Verde, there's Niche version here
http://www.nicheroadwheels.com/misano-m117-w-19769.htm
http://www.nicheroadwheels.com/specs.cfm?id=5882
You could run 19x9.5 +35 on the same tire range.


And finally the Targa
http://www.nicheroadwheels.com/targa-m130-w-5335.htm
You have a wider range here
http://www.nicheroadwheels.com/specs.cfm?id=2395
You could run the 19x9.5 +35 like above or a more aggressive setup like the 19x10 +25 on a slightly stretched 255/40/19 tire, these will slightly poke outside the fender at stock height but will tuck into the fender under compression.
Again, be sure to confirm brake clearance w/ the vendor prior to purchase.

sedan or coupe? If youre a coupe you should have no problem if youre lowered. Might have to shave the bumper bracket


Check out the square set up thread there are plenty of G's running a setup like the one you mentioned

245/40/20 is too tall of a tire, you need 245/35/20 to stay within spec. On a sedan, 10" wheel with 25 offset would be pretty aggressive. You would need some significant camber to tuck those wheels in. Try to find an offset in the 40s, you will have a much better time working with those.

I am looking for my wheels to be close to the fenders as possible. How significant camber are you talking about


Thanks for all your help

Here's 20x10 +35 on 245s (I would go at least 255/35 on a 10" width)


https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...ml#post4022708


dsolis, if you notice the wheels themselves are outside the fender (a bit of poke), a +40 will be 5mm inside of those so you could run more tire, which is a good thing.


RJs, you'll be right at the inner fender edge when dropped, you might have to flat roll the front fender edge if you run 265s (the rear is already flat rolled).
