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

Okay sorry for being lazy![Smilie](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
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

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.

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.
