18 inch wheels installed on a G35x
Ok... this is not that confusing......
Just Make Sure All Four Corners Have The Same Rolling Diameter
If your front tires can make one full rotation sooner than the tires on the back.... that does cause risk to your AWD system.
The size you choose has nothing to do with it. You can go build a donk if you want... just make sure all four are the same outside demensions (or damn close)

Maybe some visual aids will help out..
In this case the diameter is the size of the wheels and tires together. The diameter of the wheels on the front and the rear would need to equal in order to prevent any damage to your AWD system. The calculator that Scott (AesonVirus) provided helps you figure out that amount via how the aftermarket wheels will affect the speedo. What you are trying to figure out is the right combo of wheels and tires on the front and rear so that they will give you the same result i.e. mph.
If properly done the circumference will be equal and won't affect your AWD.

I like this calculator....

It tells you everything, including how far of your speedo will be.
My wheels are MRR GT-1's in Hyper Silver
They come in Black or Chrome as well.

the back rims r just a little wider not taller,so ill just get the same size tires front and back but the back rims will be a little wider thats it.I dont think a wider rim would effect the rotation or i might be wrong..
My dealer fvcked one of my wheels up so I have a brand new one sitting in my garage.
I'll weigh it and let you know.
