wheel n tire guru knowledge required/fitment

Morning folks,

To save trying to haul my aftermarket wheels around to where I am going to do my coilover install I am wondering if this setup will run on a stock car with no issues before I lower it and get it aligned.

Specs are:
Front 20x8.5 +20 245/35/R20
Rear 20x10 +45 275/35/R20

Car is a 2008 g37s coupe and ill be driving about 110kms to my buddys garage where we will do the coilover install. Concerned for fitment and wear of tires. I did do some checking on a tire/wheel calculator website and things seemed ok but I look to the kniwledge bank here for confirmation.

You'll be fine, the offsets are a little conservative so you may need to rock some spacers if you want them to flush with the fenders.

If you got sport brakes you just need to confirm clearance with the wheel maker.

Front is pretty high. But at 8.5 inches across it will be fine.

I because your on 45+offset in the rear on 10inch wheels! I would do a 20mm H&R spacer. That wil sit nice! As would can adjust your ride height! So it perfect.!

Thanks for the answers guys. I'll look into purchasing a 20mm spacer and hope it gets here before the install day. Luckily the cruddy weather has been pushing the install date further back all the time. Damn snow.

One kast question before I make purchases on front/year spacers. I'm looking at h&r hubcentric spacers and found the wheels have a c73.1 front and rear. Will I be looking at further issues with the g coupe being 66.1?
For reference I'm looking at h&r part numbers:
Rear 4065663SW
Front 3065663SW
The h&r website shows center bore at 66.2

That center bore at 66.2 will be fine, my Ichiba V2s also said 66.2 and fit like a glove

Also heard good things about the B2 spacers. PM Charles at B2Autodesigns, he'll get you a nice price

Oh, yes there is. You want to get hub reducing rings that fit inside your wheels large bore that reduces down to oem infiniti bore size. Tirerack sells the rings, they run about $10 bucks for cheap plastic ones, not sure who sells the better aluminum hub reducer rings but they're also available. Just provide the outer bore and inner bore sizes and they'll have something that will work

I need to get some spacers, for my rear. The tires are 20x9.5 +40. I'm a n00b so any input would be greatly appreciated.
