Wheel size

Hey guys i just bought my first infiniti (G37X) and i wanted to upgrade the wheel size from 17 in to 18 in. I have 245/40/R18 winter tires and i was wondering if they would fit on 18in wheels on a G37X.
Also the wheels im buying have an offset of 45 would that pose a problem?

Thank you for the help, excited to start the infiniti life!

The 245/45 would be the ideal size vs. the OEM tire size, since you're not running staggered you'll be ok w/ a 245/40 all around, the OEM 18" wheels also have offsets in the +43 to +45 range. What width are the 18s you're wanting? A 8 to 8.5" width is best for a 245.

Enjoy the Infiniti Life!

Yeah the wheel im buying has a width of 8 but would i have to get an offset of 45mm or less because i also thinking about running 255/40 on it.
Im honestly new to this whole offset thing

You could run an offset down to a +25 on an 8" width, so yeah, a +40 will be fine

You can switch the OEMs over to your new wheels if you won't be going back to them.

Would a wheel width of 8.5 with an offset of 40 be too wide ?

You'll be fine w/ either, the +35 will be 5mm closer to the fender.
