I've been lurking and learning on the site for a little while, but I finally got my wheels mounted last night after UPS damaged one of them in transit the first time and having to wait for a replacement 
I think I'm going to adjust the front just a hair lower, or raise the rear a tiny bit for a little bit of a rake, but here's how she looks in the work parking lot.
Edit:
Wheels are Velgen VMB5's
20x9"F +30 (+35 with a 5mm spacer) and 245/35/20 Hankook v12's
20x10.5"R +45 with 285/30/20 Hankook v12's

Any regrets on the 20's?

Hey NissanTech, here's my staggered GTR setup. I'm running a 25mm spacer up front and the tire size you recommended. The 10.5 rear was a bit tricky to fit, but I got it to work without a pull. I'm still on the fence about dropping the front an extra .25 inch. I like the look a lot, and the GTR color is an exact match with my graphite shadow car. This pic was taken at night. I'll start a new thread with some better day pics.
Looks good, show us some daytime pics! Lol, i went from staggered to squared set up now, all 4 rears with whole lot a camber to flush fit it all around, since it's weekend car. Let's see some more G's with GTR's!

Any plans to add the OEM spoiler?

Does the rims scrape when you turn too quickly? Sorry, but that made me laugh. I can't imagine how that would even be possible. I've been running this combination of wheel width and tire size for years now (previously had Work VS-XX). Never had a single problem. Getting too close to a curb is a different story though. The wheel is exposed due to the amount of poke.

I've always heard 20's ride rougher, but so far it hardly feels any different than the stock 18's. Granted, I haven't hit any crazy potholes or anything because I avoid them lol
Thanks! For some reason I can't warm up to the oem spoiler. I like it on some members cars, but I think I'm going to hold off. I have a small roof spoiler that I think makes the rear look a little more aggressive than stock and doesn't make the rear look too bulky.
I also gave the chrome on the rear a little bit of a brushed aluminum look with some *gulp* - clear plastidip. (I know how much the forum hates it lol)
Little comparison - when I was redoing the lettering because the wind blew some some stuff on it before it dried, hadn't ripped off the dip off the G emblem yet

MiPwnYew,
like the frost chrome look on the trunk lip and emblems, much better than chrome on your G, especially w/ a similar finish on your wheels, nice touch. I wonder how that would look on your window trim?
Those IPLs always are a nice look, especially on black Gs
I'd recommend black wrap on the window trim too, here's an easy DIY for that
