Exclamation Wheel fitment help

Hi guys, I'm planning on purchasing some new rims debating 18's. However, I have a 05 G35X Sedan and planning on running 18x9.5+22 Front and 18x10.5+22 Rear. First off, would I have any problem with that offset on a sedan? I know I need to roll my fenders which will get done.

Secondly, I have 2 tire set up to choose from and don't really know which one to go with. I know that for a X I need my tires to have all the same diameter+cir. I am planning on going 225/45/18 and 255/40/18 for a stretch look, or should I go 235/45/18 and 265/40/18 since this option seem to be "no difference from my stock wheels"?

What setup would you guys go with if your in my situation and am I going the right direction here?

Thanks for the help!

These wheels (particularly the rear) are likely too aggressive. 18s don't look good on Gs unless you are dumped 3.5"+ IMO. Given that I wouldn't even consider 18s. You have an X so a 225/255 combo is a good one to keep the diameter the same. With a 255 out back you'll need to run a lot of camber to clear 10.5 +22, even with a slight pull.

Would +30 offset sit flush or at least sorta flush? I don't want a tuck look nor get spacers when I can choose between +30,+22,+0 offset.

I'm still debating if I should go 18's or 19's, it's a really hard choice. Once I get the the tires and offset figured out then I will determine which size I'm going with.

Agreed.

That fitment is pretty aggressive for a sedan.
