Motegi Touges
I did some searching and only found somebody with 17" versions of the Motegi Touge rims.
Does anybody have the 18" version on their Z and if so, are there any fitment problems, what size rim did you use, and what size tires did you use? Thanks!

M-TOUGE has a 3" lip on both the front and rear for the 350Z: 18X9 front,
18X10 rear.
The correct tire aspect from stock would put you at this size...
Front: 255/35/18
Rear: 275/35/18
Tire rack has no clue on the correct tire size. Tire rack tells you to run the factory size. This wide of a wheel would stretch out the dise wall so much, the tire would not bead correctly to the rim.
Use a tire size calculator to check the aspect ratios...

You could also try:
245/40/18 F or 255/40/18 F
275/35/18 R is fine
and as far as stock tires go
if its 225/45/18 & 245/45/18, it won't be that bad a stretch (will still bead) but just kinda too tall and will look chubby
