Hello guys, new to the forum happy to be part of it, anything i can help with Im here.
This is the third Infiniti I owned, all of them had been Sedan second gen. Honestly i love Infinitis that why i keep coming back to it. My father has an auction license so its easy for me to buy them and sell them when someone pays enough lol. Anyway, I know a lot about body work, conversions, installations, and even prep, so im here for you guys.
I recently bought a 2008 G35x and I want to install a new set of wheels, im having concerns because i remember on my first infiniti i bought i changed the tires and they were a little different size from the original and it turned my warning light on all the time. So i want to know if any of you has a AWD if the size of the rim on the front has to be exactly on the rear? can I use more offset in rear than front? would it affect my transmission since it is awd? I am trying to go with 20's, thank you in advance!!!

Welcome to the site, here you go~
FWIW Here's the best tire combos I'd recommend for 18s/19s/20s, then pick proper wheel widths/offsets to get them to fit~
18s
235/45 & 265/40 (0.07%)
245/45 & 275/40 -0.07%
255/45 & 285/40 -0.22%
19s
225/45 & 255/40 0.06%
235/40 & 265/35 -0.37%
235/40 & 275/35 0.67%
245/40 & 275/35 -0.52%
245/40 & 285/35 0.51%
20s
235/35 & 275/30 0.07%
245/35 & 285/30 -0.07%
This calculator should be used when trying new setups~

Keep in mind the variances with a minus sign have smaller rear diameters, this isn't as good since the rears wear faster, this will cause the variance to increase over time. Not a big deal when you're starting at zero or close, but if you're already almost at 1% variance this needs to be considered.
