G35 Factory/Oem Wheel Sizes & Offsets

Just got my 2005 5AT Coupe! Wheel Upgrade Question
Hi all! I just picked up my 2005 G35 coupe last week, and is still getting used to driving with so much more power (upgraded from a 2001 Mazda Miata)... I am looking into buying new wheels and tires to replace the factory 6-spoke rims (standard, non-Brembo brakes). From the sticky it seems like these are the specs:
Front: 17"x7.5" +30mm offset
Rear: 17"x8" +33mm offset
I am looking into either 18" or 19". The site I am shopping from gave me these options for 18" and 19" wheel/tire combinations:
18" OPTION
----------
FRONT: 18"x8" 40 offset with 225/45YR18
REAR: 18x9.5" 35 offset with 255/40YR18
=OR=
FRONT: 18"x8" 20 offset with 225/45YR18
REAR: 18"x9.5" 20 offset with 255/40YR18
19" OPTION
----------
FRONT: 19"x8" 40 offset with 255/35YR19
REAR: 19x9.5" 35 offset with 285/35YR19
=OR=
FRONT: 19"x8" 20 offset with 255/35YR19
REAR: 19"x9.5" 20 offset with 285/40YR19
My question is that if the factory offset is 30 what are the effects of going to 40 (that would make the wheel "stick out" of the wheel well, right?) versus 20? I would like the wheels to not stick outside of the well if possible... Should I stay "conservative" regardless of wheel size to go with the +40, +35 offset combination that is closer to the +30, +33 instead of the +20?
I am also trying not to affect the performance (speedometer/gear ratio) too much (not planning on upgrading the suspension yet), so I am wondering if most members are sticking to 18" or all out to 19"?
The wheel I am planning on getting is the Petrol Octanes:

Sorry for the long post - any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Questions about the 2008 G35x Sport.
-Is there any difference between the 2008 G35x Sport package vs. the G35 Sport rear drive train besides the fact that the sport is RWD and has bigger brakes?
-Are suspension components the same in both cars?
If I go ahead and buy a G35X sports package, I may want to buy another set of rims, the 7.5" x 18" and 8.5" x 18" rims (from the G35 sport) for summer use only and have the 4 7.5" x 18" rims from the G35X Sport for winter tires.

My understanding is that the sport package on both cars gave you the following:
I'd still like to know the actual specs on the G35x S wheels - numbers?!
