Pic's of 350z Rims with tires

Can everyone who has the 350z rims post pictures please
and the tire size.
I got them on with 245/45/18 but today in the Redlinemax meeting i notice that my car looked like an SUV. I was under the impression that the was the size to go with.
(The car is not lowered yet)
Please i need to see them in another maxima.

1. the correct, spec size of tire for that size rim is 235/40/18. You are 10mm widerx5% taller, plus with that offset it sticks out more. (my G35 wheels are the same size/offset)

2. when you put larger rims on, it creates a visual distortion, making your "wheel gap" appear larger (when in fact, it is not ACTUALLY larger)....

it should help the wheel gap and give it a more sport stance. question: what's the difference between 350z wheels 18" and maxima 18" SE wheels?

350z wheel spokes more round than the 04 max and the 350z are 8 wide the 04 max 7.5. That the only difference i could notice.

do you know the offsets for them? i'm guessing the 04 max wheels aren't going to be as expensive.
