OK Diego, I followed your advice and dropped the car a little bit more. 
I filled up the car the other day and it looked like the car had an opposite rake. I measured and the rears were 25.5" to the top of the rear fender and the fronts were 26 1/8".
Bit the bullet and dropped the front to 25.5" It cambered the wheels in just that little bit more and it looks great imho. I'll run it for a week and see if I can live with the car that low.

Unreal my friend. I'm brand new to the blog and just purchased CV5s. Should be here mid week next week. I have an 08 G37s Coupe in this exact color. The CV5s I got are 20x9 ET9 5x114.3 front and 20x10.5 ET45 5x114.3 back (Silver Polished as well)
What are you running as your set up buddy? for coils? How do I achieve this look? This is a dream look

I'm running Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC coilovers with a bit of negative camber front and rear. Ride height is 25.5" front and rear and I did trim off the rear bumper bracket and fender liner to make sure I have no issues with rubbing.
What tires will you be running?

I wish someone could do this and at least TRY a 285/35 tire. I need to know if it will fit with the same wheel dimensions. I have been searching wheel setups for weeks!!

Would this be the same route on a Sport Sedan for 10.5 all around?
To run 10.5 inch wheels in front you have to run a minimum +30 offset to clear the sport akebono brakes. Vossen does make 10.5 offsets in +45, +25 and +15.
I spent weeks looking at all the threads on the forum and all the pictures of different offsets and went with a +45 and 15mm spacers because I wanted to run something with less poke and more rubber than 255/30. I was actually on the verge of buying 275/30 rubber all around but I took the safe route and went 265. If I keep the car long enough for a new set of rubber I think I would go for 275's all around as I think at my height it would fit with no rubbing.
Going to go for a full alignment soon to see how far I can get it to spec.

285's would fit on the rears with just a minor bracket trim. Fronts are already very very close with the 265's...
