Will these tires and wheels fit?

I have a 2007 G35 sedan standard trim. It was wondering if these wheels and tires will fit my car.

Wheels = 18x8.5 offset +48 (rota wheel) its the rota svn wheel
Tires = 225/50/18 (falken tire) falken zeix 912

I know the tire is a bit tall but I really would like to fill up the fender well as much as I can without lowering the vehicle.

Thank you
shawn

Okay sorry for being lazy

I just found tirerack has a wheel with the exact same dimensions that they say will fit my car. Here's a link to the similar sized wheel
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

After some further research using the sticky posts here.
I realized that the new wheel I am looking at is 16mm pushed inward towards the suspension components due to the width and different backspacing. The spoke pattern on the rota wheel I am looking at is nothing crazy and so it should clear my stock brake calipers too (hopefully)

Tire wise tirerack recomends a 225/50/18 so I will go this route most likely. Now to figure out if the whole TPMS deal!?

Any input is appreciated
Thank you

Shawn,

225/50 won't fill your fenders any more than a 245/45 setup, so i would suggest going with the latter so you have more tread on the road, plus it won't look as stretched.

+48 is a very conservative offset, even for a sedan.

As for TPMS, you can buy new sensors or move your existing sensors to the new setup.

Mike,
I don't want a staggered setup. Are you sure a 245 mm width tire will clear up front?
What are new tpms sensors running $.

Thank you

245 will certainly fit up front. It's the same overall height as the 225's you spec'd out (both of which are OEM sizes). I used to use the OEM rears as a spare for the fronts, plus a small spacer to clear the Akebono's. Not to mention, some of the S folks buy two OEM rears to replace the fronts and eliminate the staggered set-up.

For daily, my car sits on 255/40/19s with no rubbing issues, same wheel width as yours but at +35.

By the way, some have also used 235/50's as replacements for the front 225/50's, it's slightly taller but still within the accepted +/-3% margin for speedo accuracy.
