Default Wheel Help Please!



So I'm thinking about ordering these rims, but I have a question first. My car is a 2004 350z touring. Atm my car has base 7 spoke 17" rims (I'm not sure if this is what came stock or not.) < if anyone knows the answer?
What I plan to order is listed below.
555 Flat Black wheels by Xxr®. 18" x 8.5", +25 Offset, 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern, 73.1mm
front: 18x8.5", rear: 18x10". +25 offset. Will this stick past the fenders at all? If so, what offset is recomended?
I wouldn't mind if these rims were flush to the fenders, but they cannot go any farther. I was told proper fitting wheels are 18x9.5 , 18x10.5 +15 all around, so how's a inch in the front, and half a inch in the back going to look? Thanks ahead of time to anyone who reply's!

Yeah, OP, neither will even come close to sticking out. Front and rear will be fine with even mire room to go up front.

Be careful with your stagger, or you'll have problems with the VDC/TCS/ABS.

I would go with a 9.5” width and 15mm offset on the front wheel.

I did 8.5” and 25mm offset (what you are considering) and I’m a little disappointed with my setup.



Notice that the 8.5” 25mm offset wheels are too tucked in the front.

And... 8.5” wide wheels don’t support enough tire width when you stagger with 275 or greater in the rear.
