Will 18x8+45offset fit a 265/35r18 tire?
I have a 2012 Infiniti G37x sedan and am trying to figure out the maximum amount of tire I can get on some aftermarket wheels. I am currently looking at some Sparco Assetto Gara wheels (18x8 +45mm offset) for the car. Ideally, I'd like to go 18x8.5-9, but tirerack won't let me even see those wheels since I put in my car information. Ideally, I'd like to put 265 tires on whatever wheel I get but the issues of fit and tire rub come to mind. I'd be willing to settle with 255s but don't want to go that small. So do y'all think I could safely fit 265s on these wheels and not have any issues with tire rub? 255s?
In the future, I plan on putting aftermarket Hawk HPS brake pads on the car too so I may need to go bigger than 18x8 just for that reason alone. Let me know if y'all have any suggestions.
Also, I have her on swift spring lowering coils which drop her -1.3" in the front and -1.0" in the back.

Buy a different wheel. 265...I have a 275 on a 10.5" wheel. My tire is marginally wider than what you are proposing but my wheel/rim would be 2.5" wider. Can you visualize the difference? I would look at a 9.5-10" wheel if you want a 265.

I'll be honest there's a reason I got custom monoblock wheels. It cost $2600 shipped (which is cheap honestly for those wheels) but they fit flawlessly on the borehub (66.1mm I believe). I need no spacers, no hub adapters, no nothing. Offset is perfect for my big factory brakes. Everything fits as the wheel was designed for my car. Obviously if I sell the car I can only sell to another Nissan or Inifiniti so there's a downside, albeit small.
