Wheel and tire sizing
Hi everybody, I am new to the forum here so hopefully I am doing everything correctly! I am a new G37 owner after my previous vehicle got totaled. It is a 2013 moonlight white g37 Journey sedan and I have always loved the storm trooper look on vehicles (white body with black accents).
I am looking into getting new wheels and tires and I want to go black wheels of course. My g is running 225/55 R17’s currently and I do not like the 55% sidewall, nor the 17” wheels. I am trying to come up with the best wheel and tire fitment that will make my g look as good as possible. I personally am not a fan of the lowered cars so I will be keeping mine at stock height.
I am looking at the Michelin Pilot Super Sports but I am just concerned about not having the right look. Im not sure if 18” or 19” wheels would be better...
Any recommendations/suggestions to help me out so I can get the best look? Also if anybody has any pictures for reference that would be awesome as well.
I tried to attach two pictures that kinda shows the look i am going for but not having any luck so here are the links

Could you safely run 245/45R18's on an 8'' wheel on a stock G37x? From what I've researched, it looks like that it's the minimum required rim width to run 245's.
I already have a set of 18'' x 8'' +35 Fast wheels and I'm debating between stock 225/50R18 or going a little wider to the 245/45R18.
Looking to wrap them with either the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ or the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS.
Thanks!
