If shaved fenders are all you are willing to do , then I'd say it's too much trouble.

I can tell you now they definitely won't fit with just a fender shave. you will need to go to a body shop to have your fenders pulled/flared out then smoothed out, then you'll have to stretch your tires to make em fit. Nothing impossible, it'll just take major fender mods and tire stretching.

Tons of places just google.

If you're just willing to shave the fender then I would suggest something like a 19x10 +25 offset on 245's and you should be golden.

you are if you think you can make those work just by shaving/cutting/pulling the fenders.

actually a 20x11 with a 48-50mm offset with a 305 tire should cleareven with a 2" drop on the rear ! ive had a 285 on the rear drop'd with no prob. ! also most g-35's rear staggered rims are a low offset and dont fit well on gs's with serious mods ! to clear a 20x10 low offset(20-25mm offset) you'll have to run a 245/35-20 strecthed from hell to clear the fender well ! ive tried it and done it thats how i know ! i tried a 255/30 and it worked but you'd have to shave the well alot ! just my $0.02 !!!

The Works you posted are equivalent to:
18x11.5 et 35
18x13.5 et 35
I would definitely pass on those unless you plan on running no fenders.
