Default 05 350z - Upgrading to 18" OEM wheels from 17"?

okay so I have a 05 350z enthusiast with the 17 in oem rims. Well I was looking at some tires and such cause I need some new ones pretty soon and found this guy selling the touring v.2's for $350 with tires, so I was thinking about purchasing it and wanted to ask some questions. I've found most of answers to the q's researching except for couple. Will it mess with the speedo and will it affect the mpg? and also upon changing them do I have to switch the TPMS sensors from 17's 18's or is there a way that I could reset them?

Thank you guys!!

All OEM wheels-tires will fit your Z. No problems with VDC TCS or speedometer. A tire shop should be able to set up the new sending units. Just in case keep the old ones.

Well, actually it depends on the tire sizes, but if the tires close enough to OEM spec sizes (specifically the diameter), then you're fine.

There is at least one thread on here about how to program the TPMS by yourself.

Yeah I'm planning to just keep the 17s in the garage, I doubt I will be able to sell it for decent price. Thank you david.

What are the sizes? that sounds like a deal that's too good to be true for that price.

Review the tire condition carefully

Waizzz. The OEM touring v2's, so I'm thinking 225/45/18 on the front and 245/45/18 on the rear. The car is bone-stock. Well the guy said his z(2006)'s been sitting since the 2nd gear blew and has less than 30k miles, but I will still check em out.
