will these tires fit

Does anyone know if the following tires will fit on my stock 18" rims and if they will rub or cause any other issues on my 2003 G35 Coupe

Front 245/40/18
Rear 275/35/18

Please let me know asap as I have to decide quickly o buying these tires. Great price and they will not last long

thanks

You're fine with the fronts. With the rears, it's not so much a rubbing issue as it would be putting too wide a tire on an 8" rim. I believe there's at least one guy on this forum who's done it and swears it's fine, but according to rim mfr guidelines, you need at least a 9" rim to go with 275s.

I haven't seen a tire mfr guide that allows anything bigger than a 255 to go on an 8".

As for rubbing, I've read a few member posts of having 255s in the front and 285s in the rear, but you need a rim with the proper offset and you also need to be careful if you plan on slamming.
