Sc's with 19 g35 rays
Depends what he's looking for - if its aesthetics, then he should run smaller so he can push the rims out as far as possible without rubbing the tires on the fenders. If he wants to make the car handle as well as possible while using those wheels, he should run something like 275's in the rear and 245's in the front.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, yeah I'm still leaning towards 215/35/19 and 235/35/19 Im in it for just traction and performance, Infiniti chose those sizes but keep in mind, the g35s have more power than our cars stock. I don't plan on boosting for a long time I got 51,xxx on my engine so alot of life left. I went on the 1010 calculator thing, and with these specs I will go like .2slower than stock that's why I wanted 225/35/19, 245/30/19 for rears. I got a steal on these rims, but I like the silver finish better than black powdercoat, pictures are on it's way.

The G35's have a lot more power than our cars stock, but unless you live your life on a drag-strip, you'll eventually turn and stop the car, and the bigger rubber will make that a helluva lot more enjoyable.
Either way, 215's are WAY to small for a 3,600lb car. Your car will understeer like a toddlers big wheel.

If you're in it for traction and performance, then you'll want 275's in the rear and 245's in the front. Don't base anything on what the manufacturer did - "ultimate performance' is far from the most important then on an engineers list of priorities when manufacturing a production car for profit.

Confusion, I've driven on these wheels with 225f/265r and 225f/245r. Both handle just as well dry, but the 265r definitely grips better in rain. It also could be a difference between tires (falken perf vs. nitto perf). Either way, if you chose to go with 265r, you'll be looking at a more expensive tire. Furthermore, 245 is flush with the rim, 265 puffs out a bit.
As for 215f, please don't do that. 275r will rub if you are lowered.

You can clear 245's front/275's in the rear w/o a roll, with the right offset. I had 245's/275's on Supra springs and didn't have any problems. I dropped it more with coil overs and had to remove the black fender lining in the rear (front was fine), but there was still PLENTY of room inward.
