Wheel size help!!

Hey everyone,
I purchased some VSF2's in 19x9.5 +28 or +23 something around there in the front and 19x11 +45 for the back.
I was just wondering if they'll fit, my G37 Sedan is on Swift Springs. I know the front isn't really an issue but will the back fit fine too?
Also, will i need anything other than the wheels and tires like something to adjust the camber?
I'm pretty new to this and thought i got the whole offset and stuff down but I saw some forums and got confused about what I really need to complete my fit.
Thanks in advance!

If you have Akebono brakes I think you'll have a problem in the front. I suspect the back is fine. You could run 245/40 all around or 245/40 front and 255 or 265/35 rear if you want stretch.

if i ran the 245 all around wouldn't it be stretched in the back and beefy in the front? Also no they're unfortunately the normal brakes. hopefully changing them eventually.

Single-piston calipers should be okay though that is still a small offset for the front.

I'm running 245 on 8.5" coupe wheels up front and they are beefier than 225 but some folks run 9" or 10" square with 275 all around. I feel you can never have too much rubber up front; most of your stopping power comes from your front tires.

If you don't need a camber kit now, you won't with the new wheels and tires.
