Larger Diameter Tires

Larger Diameter Tires
I purchased a G37 Sport Sedan in December and I am thinking of upgrading to 20" wheels. I hate to ask this question but I have searched and don't see it anywhere. I know most people here drop after larger wheels but has anyone just gone with a larger size tire to fill up more of the wheel well. Putting on slightly larger diameter tires will only change the speedometer slightly but the benifits are a little more side wall therefore not too harsh a ride.

I have a 4 wheel drive truck so I am not trying to make my G a 4 wheel drive. I have 18inch OEM wheels with approx. 27 inch diameter tires and 41/2 inch side walls. If I go to 20inch wheels with 28 inch tires, this gives me 4" side walls but about 1/2inch more tire to help fill the gap. When my speedo reads 60 mph, I will actually be going 62.5 mpg (not a big deal).

Larger wheels doesn't mean you need to go with larger tires, just stick to the same Outer Diameter. 20s don't look good without low profile tires anyways
