Stock G37 rims do fit, but they won't flush without spacers.

id suggest to keep the 20s and work with it. run some spacers to flush it out and lower the car a lil more, ditch the wing and youll be good. =)

...it depends on how wide your wheels are and how far out to flush..tires will play a role here too..

It looks good just the way it is IMO. Please don't destroy it with the "slammed" look. Is it currently lowered now?

I think the car looks good the way it is. You can have someone photoshop the G37's so you can an idea of what they look like..

This look ok, but I would rather have it a tad bit higer. I don't like the look of the fender sitting on the tires.

Heck NO! I don't like this at all. I thought the slam look is when the tires are sitting low like this AND the back wheels are wide and have that ugly negative camber.
