I love the stock wheel design. If there was some way of turning them into a 3pc deep dish wheel I would.

I should mention I ran 30mm spacers in the rear to make it look semi-normal. Lol

woah woah woah. Why would you run such a tiny sidewall? That's absurd. It's gonna look and feel terrible.

Don't go staggered and the front tires would be taller than the rear. You tell me if that would look stupid. Do either the front or rear wheels all around.

Probably but it's roughly equivalent to 245/40 on the stock wheels and we know how everyone feels about that. 275s all around is a **** ton of tire for non FI or tracked car.

Need some advice.. will this fit? I'm pretty sure it will.. but would I need a fender roll?

Front: 18x9.5 +22 with 245/40/18 tires
Rear: 18x10.5 +22 with 275/40/18 tires.

Replies to this determine whether I purchase this set of wheels or not. :/

If you're buying it as a package off a 350z like I figure you are, I'd say pass. Rear tire is a little tall and a little wide

By the way guys thanks for the info! I got my setup that fits now. The set is as I said before, 18x8.5 fronts and 18x10 rears. 235/40's on the fronts and the problems I had with the rears which I had 235/50's. the 50's were way to big and were getting destroyed by my fender/bumper mounting joint. I asked for sizes recommendations here and got some good ideas. I tried the 235/40's but it was impossible to get the bead to seat on the rim, tires were just too low of a profile to stretch onto the rim and lacked the necessary width.. Got a 245/40 and tried it, was a stretch but did get them to fit. Looks fantastic too. So set up now consists of fronts: 18x8.5-235/40 and rear: 18x10-245/40's for reference for anyone on here needing the info.

Thanks for the info Reaper, care to post some pictures? What I'm looking at is very similar to your rim (18x10-245/40 +25 vs 18x10.5-275/40 +22). How much of a fender roll was required?
