Here are the specs again:

The fronts are 18x9 with a 24 offset and 225/40/18 tires
The rears are 18x10 with a 30 offset and 235/40/18 tires

5x114.3

^You definitely shouldn't get them if they don't fit. FYI - the lug pattern is the same for G's and Z's.

I aligned all 5 holes, and then I can't push it in at all no matter how I tried it.

I placed the stock rims back on without a problem.

Front or back? Front rotor has a bolt on it so you can't use oem rear wheel on the front

Something doesn't sound right with those wheels.

Doesn't matter if its the front or rear wheel it should still fit over the studs, just won't seat properly without removing that one bolt on the front hub.

I had problems on my rear wheels. initially when taking off my wheels they were damn near impossible to come off, I literally had to kick the crap outta them to get them to pop off, because of that I think there was some rusting damage on the inside mounting surface. This is off-point from the topic being discussed, sorry OP. Honestly even if you were eventually able to mount these they don't sound like they're worth the effort.

I was trying to install the front wheels on... not the rear ones. The back of the mounting holes are kind of rusty.

regardless though they should have still been able to slide on some of the way if it was rust, for example I got mine fairly tucked to the hub but it was just barely off, enough to throw off the ride quality.

Sounds like you need to lube them up with some elbow grease, if you decide to buy them.

The rims are already at home. I measured the lug patterns to be 4.5 inches (114.3mm) from center of lug hole #1 to center of lug hole #3 to make sure that I'm not crazy. Roid rage elbow grease didn't help
