I have a 2013 G37 sedan with stock 225-55-17 tires. My buddy just bought a Q70 & put aftermarket wheels/tires on it. He said I could have his OEM set if they'd fit my car. Can I put these (245-50-18) on my vehicle without issues?
Nice look there, and a nice friend too! Keep in mind those tires will be almost an inch taller than your OEM tire size so your vehicle speed will be about 3.5% slower on your speedometer than you're actually going.

Yes, good observation. I totally missed that his new tires are 50 series instead of 45s.
I guess that's why they fill out the wheel opening so well.
I have a G37 sedan lowered on swift springs but purchasing fortune auto coilovers next month. Will these wheels fit with my current setup.
Thanks

Yes, if you do a search on this forum for that size, you will see a dozen of G Sedans using that offset. You could even run as big as a 285 in the rear and it would still clear.

Gabe, those are good offsets for your sedan, 245/35 & 275/30 tires for an easy fit, for a real flush setup 255/35 & 285/30, might have to run a bit of camber (but probably not) for the 255/285s.

I personally was recommended to run 20x9+32 as opposed to +38 by Vossen surprisingly when I ordered my CVT's.
I'm not sure if the OP has AWD. However, his stock tires seem like AWD sizes. Wouldn't 255/35 and 285/30 be slightly over the 1% of tolerance or has it been proven that there is more tolerance than that?
I personally am running 245/35 and 285/30 for that exact reason. 255 would be perfectly flush though, as my fronts are damn near perfect already so even a 5 mm spacer, would probably do the trick? pictures for reference and to show the OP what that sizing would look like.
If you have RWD there is more wiggle room when you stagger, up to 3% seems to work ok. With AWD you MUST be under 1% variance and even closer to zero would be preferred.
