G35 Sedan Wheels on the Coupe?

My car didn't come with the stock wheels, and I'm looking for a spare set.

This guy in my area is selling some 18" 08-09 G35X sedan wheels, and i was wondering if these wheels would fit ok? would there be any issues? from what i understand the G35 coupe has staggered stock tires, but not sure what tires the sedan runs, so what would be acceptable tire specs to have on the coupe?

Also, just for matter of opinion do you guys even think these wheels would look good on the coupe? i can't really visualize how they would look like, and i'm wondering if anyone has seen this setup or has a picture. for some reason in my mind i think they may look weird on the coupe, but i'm not sure, maybe i'm better off finding the actual coupe wheels.

These are the wheels i'm talking about:

Unless you are getting these so cheap, it's puts the biach to sleep, I'd try to find some 350z oem 18s. They are also available everywhere and probably have much better offsets for the coupe

I found this guy selling some OEM 17" 350Z wheels...what you guys think of these? i know the 18's are nicer, but how will these workout? will they fit better? are the offsets similar?

they are 17x7.5 in the front, and 17x8 in the back.

Look for a tire/wheel package with good tread.

OK think i'm gonna settle on these. just want to confirm that the offset and tires will work good with my car, can anyone confirm? i'm thinking of picking them up this weekend!

18x8 +30
5x114.3
Wheels are in good condition with some minor curbage.

Fronts: 225/45/18 (60-70% tread)
Rears: 245/45/18 (90-100% tread)
