Need help! Have AWD G35x and want a staggered setup!

I have a 2007 G35x sedan (V36) and I want to run 18x8.5 front and 18x9.0 or 9.5 rear. I have heard it is possible to do this if you run the same tire size on front and back. Appreciate any feedback!

So you are saying that I can safely do this without messing up my AWD system?

Yep, use a tire calculator to make sure they're the same overall diameter.

I’m unfamiliar with this, how would I do that?

So I will need 245/40 R18 all around. So I will be able to do this without any issues with AWD. Sorry I keep asking this, just want to be completely sure.
