18 inch wheels on S coupe for winter

Sorry to ask such a dumb question but Im looking at swapping out of the Max into a G37S coupe. I just bought a set of 06 M35x 18in wheels and put some Dunlop Wintersport tries on them. I will be keeping this set and was curious if I could slap these on the G37s. They are 18x8.5 but I cant track down the offset.

If they dont fit I need to track down Spacers to make them fit.

The coupes come w/ pretty conservative offsets from the factory so the Max wheels shouldn't be too far off. Here's the OEM wheel specs for Infiniti Gs

I am using M35 wheels, I hope they clear the BBK. Thanks for the link. Let me do some research there.

If you have the wheels on hand you can always use these templates (glued to some cardboard) to check for clearance rather than doing a blind fit and possibly scratching up your calipers. If nothing else it'll tell you how much spacer you'll need to clear them.

They are mounted on the Max right now. I tried using the tire and wheel calculator and if I did it right, its saying Ima need 30mm spacers in the front, 20 in the back.

I will see how it goes and let everyone know.
