Fitting new wheels need advice on size and offsets

Hey guys,

I am actually from Australia and have a V35 Skyline Sedan, there isn't a whole lot of info on these cars over here but I am aware the G35 is pretty much the same vehicle. I am currently in the market for some 18's for mine and I have come across a couple of sets that I'd like to put on her, but I am not sure what fits good.

The first set is 18x10.5 + 15 (all 4)
The second set is 18 x 9 + 27 (all 4)

Can you guys help me out letting me know how (roughly) these would fit, and if not what will fit, because i read somewhere the offset for them was 8.5 + 30 front and 9.5 + 40 rear which if thats the case cuts my options alot.

Cheers for the help in advanced guys.

Where in Australia are you from? I was out there in October!

Your first set is pretty damn aggressive for the sedan and not going to fit without some work.

The second is doable, but depends on what you really want to do with the car.

How low do you want to go? Are you into stretching tires? You wanna go aggressive?

I'm from a place called Gladstone in Queensland.

I have actually ended up deciding on some 18 x 8.5 + 25 front and 18 x 9.5 + 30 rear, im not planning on going much lower than i already am (which i think is 350z sprung height) and I don't plan on getting too aggressive with it... yet anyway.

Those specs look a bit more aggressive than you'd want to run if you're not looking to do fender modification on a sedan. Good thing you opted for a more conservative fitment.

Fender mods were on the cards but i figured may as well keep it simple seeing as she is my daily.
