Yes I have searched but nothing answers my questions really.
Im looking at
Enkei RPF1
18x9.5+15
18x10.5+15
Tires
Front: 245/40/18
Rear: 275/35/18
Right now I am on stock height so I wouldnt need to roll fenders right?
If I lower the Z on Tanabe GF210's will I have to roll fenders? Will I need a rear AND front camber kit? This is a DD car if that affects any of the answers. Thanks in advance![thumbup](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/biggthumpup.gif)
Edit: Will TPMS fit in these wheels? I read the top 100 questions and searched but nothing has been said about the RPF1

They definitely fit:
18" & 19" OEM wheels
Nismo LMGT4
Volk LE/TE37, CE28N. They will fit the Volk GTS but sensor must point "up" toward tire.
PIAA Rozza (adapter available from Z1 Performance)
They can be made to fit almost any other wheels with the "banding" method, described in these three threads:

Edit: My main thing is I don't really want the wheel/tire to stick out past the fender.. Will this be a problem with these offsets?

275/40 is the proper rear tire you will need. 275/35 is to short to be used in the rear, but it does make a great front tire.

I've ran the Enkei 18x10.5 with a 275/35/18 rear on Tanabe GF210's without a camber kit. I had 40 series also, but with this specific wheel, it looked too beefy for me, which to me, made my rim look small so I ended up going with a 35 series which looked better to me. Without a camber kit, you will not need your fenders rolled, but with a camber kit, I probably would roll them. You might rub, might not, depending on brand of tire. The drop on the tanabe's are significant enough to get a camber kit if you're concerned about being too far out of spec/tire wear though. Here's a picture to answer some of your questions. 3rd picture isn't that great but you get an idea of how much they stick out. Not much. TPMS fits fine btw.

and next month you will complain about TCS/VDC/ABS acting funny. If you want to run a 35 out back you should have ordered a 19x10 and then run a 275/35-19

I would have went 255/35 - 285/35. The wider wheel is relative to the ride height. I'm currently running this set up and really happy with my tire size!
BUT post some pics so we can take a look and see how it looks bud! Congrats on the purchase, great great wheels!!

One at the techs at Nissan who I am really good friends with recommend the sizes I went with. He has always had really good judgement IMO. Will try to post pics next week when they come
