09 g37x coupe advice

Currently have 18's on the car and trying to get that flush look at the wheel wells. Just don't want to lower the car as I am in Canada and the winters suck. My question is will 20's with or with out spaces work on this car or even 19's? I have 18's for the winter but would like a cleaner look for the rest of the year. Thanks.

You can go 19s, 20s don't look as good at stock height. You won't be able to get rid of that gap between the tire & fender though, you need to keep your diameters similar to your OEM tires, so when you go up in rim size your sidewall will get smaller (resulting in similar diameters). You CAN go w/ spacers to bring them out closer to the fender edge though.

Are you in a major city, or like "deep in the woods" somewhere? Because I'm in Toronto and have my car lowered on eibach springs and have driven through 2 winters without an issue.

In terms of wheel size, blnewt is correct in that you wont get any closer to flush on the height, if you are talking about width then my setup of 19x8.5 + 20mm spacers is a good fitment. I run this all summer and then go to 18's in the winter as well.

Thanks guys. I am very new to the G , my last ride was a fx4 with lift and 35's. So this is a complete 180. Just was concerned with lowering the car I would risk getting hung up in the snow. I am in hamilton. Your car has the look I am searching for. Thanks again.
