Surprisingly minimal with the firehawk indy 500s. I had pirelli p zeros before which bulged a LOT since they tend to run wider IME. I'm at work now but I attached the only decent picture I had saved on my phone that you could get a feel for the sidewall bulge from.
blt will probably have a much better response, and correct me if I'm wrong, but from my understanding the stretch/bulge will only affect sidewall (significantly) if it's above or below the recommended tire width for the rim width. The recommended range tends to be roughly 30mm wide anyways so I don't see that making a huge difference as long as it's within spec.

The Firehawk Indy 500s are supposedly a rebranded Bridgestone RE003 sold everywhere else, which is the successor to the RE001/RE760 previously sold here.. Can't speak to the actual rubber compound itself, but the tread is identical.
47 offset won't be an issue, since they're 9 wide they will fit close to where the 8.5 +43 would at the fender edge.
Check this site first since it's an actual Nissan dealer, only a few bucks more and they should be able to tell you the true availability of these wheels.

Found those a couple years back for an even better deal but no one was able to land them.
G/L and let us know what you find out.

A set of 19 x 9 wheels with +40 offset and 255/40 tires should fit a G37xS sedan on factory suspension, correct? From my math I should have 16mm less inside clearance and extend an extra 22mm towards the fender.
I was just taking a look at these . . .

I'll do a deeper search when I get a chance but, I think it's just a load & inflation table for passenger vehicles that I found online. One that specifies tire dimensions and psi for each given load rating. I think it was this?
Well, I ended up wimping out and going with 19x8.5 +45 wheels and 245/40 rubber based on an extended conversation with a specialist at TireRack. The 8.5" wheel WILL except 255/40 rubber, however, the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ rubber I chose runs wide, their 245/40 size is wider than some company's 255/40. So we'll see how it goes, I figure I can always throw on 255/40 rubber next time if the ride is too harsh with the decreased sidewall of the 245/40. After all, it only took me 14,000 miles to wear a set of 225/50 Conti Extreme Contact DWS 06 tires down to 3/10ths.

When I bought my wheels I insisted on 9.5s all around, and the vendor said "are you sure???" I should have listeneed. Wound up having to get spacers and longer studs which added a lot of cost and made me nervous about fitment.
