Default Help with wheel size

New to the Z world. Read quite a bit but still just confused on it all fitment wise. I am looking to get vordoven forme 9 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear both +12 offset. Currently have 235/45 on front and 245/45 on rear. My car is an 07 350z stock height was wondering if they will fit or it it just all wrong in general. Thanks for any info.

245 or 255/40-18 and 275 or 285/40-18. You will likely need a rear roll to fully clear them.

They'll work fine. The fronts are a tad tall but no biggee and the 245/45 rear is stock size so it's fine. Just watch out if the car has VDC. Looks like these sizes in combination work OK but if you do trigger VDC (if car even has oit), it's because the front tires are too tall.... but again, should be fine.

Stock wheels and tires on my car now are 225 45 on front and 245 45 on the rear so I figured the tire size wouldn't be off bad but just the offset is what I was worried about.

Far better sizing recommendations posted above (tire/wheel spec) for 9.5/10.5 rim widths.

^^^Exactly. They will be stretched but the sizes you mention will physically fit. They're not optimal for anything but "they work".
