Need help with rims PLEASE

First of all, I don't know anything about rims, offset, spacers, etc. so I need all the help I can get from the forum members here. I am insterested in a set of 2008 M35 18" standard rims/tires and search only came back with M35 sport rims. Anyway, here are my questions.

1) Is this a 2008 M35 standard rim (please see pics)?

2) Will it fits stock 2006 G35x without doing anything (tires are 245-45-18)?

3) Will spacers make it look better, if so, what size and brand (I don't plan on lowering the car, just want larger and fatter size tires)?

4) Can I use the lug nuts from the G or do I need to purchase the newer acorn lug nuts?

5) anyone knows the size of the rims, is it 18 x 8.0?

Thanks in advance for your help
Larry

Yes, the rims will fit. The tires will also probably fit. They're the same circumfrence as stock as far as I can tell.

I'm actually not sure.. aren't they G37 wheels? I didn't think the M wheels had flat spokes...

2) Will it fits stock 2006 G35x without doing anything (tires are 245-45-18)?
Yes
3) Will spacers make it look better, if so, what size and brand (I don't plan on lowering the car, just want larger and fatter size tires)?
Spacers just push the wheels out further from the axle.

4) Can I use the lug nuts from the G or do I need to purchase the newer acorn lug nuts?
They might fit, depends on the wholes in the wheels.

5) anyone knows the size of the rims, is it 18 x 8.0?
This will be printed on the back of the wheels. They look to be 18"s, but I am not sure if they are 8" wide. Again, it will be printed on the back of the wheels so check it out.

Thanks for the replies. Hopefully I will be able to pick up this set this Sat. I'd like to have the M35 sport wheel instead of the standard ones (look just like the G37) but for about $500 for the whole set (10k miles on tires), I just can't complain...
