Getting either aftermarket 18" or 19" Wheels. NEED HELP!

I have a 2008 g35 sedan base model with

Stock Wheel Specs:

Front & Rear -17"x7.5" +45mm offset
Bolt Pattern: 5x 114.3

Stock Tire specs:

P225/55R17

Looking to purchase an aftermarket set of wheels either 18" or 19". However i need help with what sizes and specs for the Wheel/Tire will fit my car without rolling or cutting my fenders and making the wheel stick out too much giving it a nasty off-roading look.

I was looking to either purchase the Varrosten ES. 221 (18") or ES 222(19") or the Avant Garde M310. Will these fit on my car? What setup should i be looking for?

Friend Suggested 18" 8.5 +45 5x114.3 and 18" 9.5 +30 5x114.3 for the Varrosten ES. 221. Does this seem ok?

What setup should i be looking for please help!! THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Varrosten or whatever will be rucked in the front and poke in the back unless you run a decent amount of camber for the rears. Avant grade m310 will fit nice at 8.5 +35 front and 9.5 +40 rear. Plus the m310 are a better quality wheel, no reports of them breakingnthat I've come across. Can't say the same for varrosten.

I hate to be the one who says this, because the search function CAN be a pain at times, BUT if you search this topic on this site you will find a BOAT LOAD of information on this topic. You just have to patiently sift through the info and find what is applicable to you and your desires. Good luck, and post pics when you do finally make your decision.

THANKS! im learning towards the m310. The 8.5 +35 front and 9.5 +40 for the rear are specs for 19" wheels correct? Will this fit on my car without rolling my fenders?

thanks in advance!

Specs are correct, easily fits without rolling fenders. Here are the wheels without a drop http://www.myg37.com/forums/3303728-post10.html

Head on over to the vendor section. Some vendor probably has them.

Also just had a brief question. I was just wondering with the Advant Garde wheels i was looking to get with specs 8.5 +35 front and 9.5 +40 rear, what tire specs would you guys suggest? (Im also NOT going to lower my car as well if that helps) was thinking 245/40/19 or 225/40/19?

I want to make sure i dont rub....

Also would i need to change the camber at all?

THANKS sorry im such a novice at this

I would run 225/40 up front and 245/40 out back. That will give you a minute bit of stretch to help clear the fenders and will look/handle great. You might consider rolling the rears just to be safe. If you don't drop you shouldn't need more negative camber, car should align to stock specs with no issues.

Thanks for the info!! if i run 225/40 up front and 245/40 in the rear, will i absolutely NEED to roll my rear fenders? im not looking to roll my fenders at all. So maybe run 225/40 all around will work what do you think or is it ok to keep 225/40 and 245/40?

thanks!
