Default About to drop some cash on rims ("will it fit thread etc")

Hello,

I'm about to drop some cash on some rims and tires for my 03 350z but am just looking for some answers in regards to fitment, offset, etc.

- Will these fit?
- Will I have to roll the fenders?
- Will they stick out too far? Vice versa

First choice setup:

18x9 255/45/18
18x10 285/40/18

Second choice setup:

18x9 245/40ZR/18
18x10 275/35ZR/18

I'd really appreciate it fellow Z members.




P.S. I still really wanted the Corvette (sigh) but the friggin' buyer backed out and the dealer misquoted my trade-in. So i guess i'm just going to stick with the Z.

Front tires are taller than rear.

wheels good tire size choices look blindly picked. 255/40F 275/40R would be great 275/35F 295/35 R if you want wide tires

18x9 +4mm with a 255 tire and 18x10 +2mm with a 285 tire will not fit. His offsets are perfect for a nice contact patch.
