I am thinking about 18x8" Wedsports TC-005 with 235/45/18 all around.

Right now they have a set of used Michelin PS2s on them. They are 255/40/18, which are a bit short in diameter, but I'm hoping to run them a bit so I can try out the performance of the PS2s before I get my new summer tires.

That's not what I saw, the TL I saw (well, he was next to me) had the actual Wedports tc005's on them, makes the car look even better.
The TC005 is the wheel I would've liked to buy if only they came in 19", unfortunately, they stop at 18".
Great price for such a light, aggressive looking wheel.

my G35 rendering non-staggered
I also have non-staggered wheels on order and they will be here on Monday. Stern ST-1's in Chrome. I went with 18 x 8.5's front and back with 45 mm offset and 245/45/18's. I really did not want a tire I could never rotate. I've had several cars that have staggered wheels and you get a lot of wear on the inside of the rears and outside edge of the fronts. My last car went through 3 sets of tires in 71,000 miles before I sold it to buy my G35. I've really lost interest in replacing tires every 25,000 miles or less. Attached is my rendering of what I expect my Silver G35 to look like. I plan to lower with Eibach spring after I get the tires mounted and check the ride out.
What do you think?
PS: Unrelated info. I bought a cheap tornado like devices to put in both intake tubes of my car and I increase fuel mileage by about 2+ mpg. They cost about $10 a piece plus shipping. I was getting 16.8 to as much as 17.6 now I pushing 20 MPG in town. Just a heads up.

Let me warn you you'll need tin snips and will have to make one cut. The product looks flimsy and cheap from what you expect but it really does work. You can actually buy one for both intakes. Let me explain. I bought two for about $35. let me recommend that you only buy 1 not 2. Here is why: The pieces I purchase are made to be one-size-fits all. There are 10 fins on each piece. You size it, then cut it to fit. The correct size for this car is 5 fins. 6 will not fit, I tried - trust me. That give you exactly two unit with one purchase. I used the second on my wifes car. Cut it into two, 5 fin pieces and you have two. Bend to fit and put in the car. Not bad for under $20. I had a tornado (brand name) in my last car and it gave me about 1.5 to 2 MPH. I paid $79. Even that was worth it to me over 70,000 miles. good luck.
