42mm Offset
Saw some rims I like:

However it has a 42mm offset...is that problematic? What tire size would be recommended to go along with these?

I definitely recommend going w/ at least 8" wide rims.

My post was concerning 7.5" wheels which are easier to find. Circumference on a 245 is 1" greater than a 235. If you are running a 30mm offset, this may cause some rubbing of the outside wheel well "inner lining". Better safe than sorry?

The only problem with the lower offsets for all wheels is that the front wheels will stick out further. I have 18x7.5" rims with 40mm offset. Adding a 10mm spacer to the back will change it to a 30mm offset which will make it look better and more equal to the fronts.

For 5th gens, 8.5" wide with 35-40mm offset will be perfect all around.

See the "quickie" image below:
The first diagram shows a 45mm offset. That means, the center section of the rim is +45mm from the true center of the rim. This makes the rim "sit in" further from the lip of the fender. The second diagram shows a 35mm offset. Since the offset is -10mm from the 45mm offset rim, the wheel will "stick out" more and be closer to the lip of the fender in comparison to the 45mm variation.
Make sense?

What do you guys think of these wheels ? I need some LIGHT wheels and I'm conteplating on whether get Enkei RPF1s 18x8.5 with 30mm offset, I have big calipers to clear on my Maxima and anything smaller than 35mm will rub.
Or these
http://www.enduromotorsports.com/RaysGTP.html in a similar size ?
I want something light, wide, and no cheap **** like ADR, Velox, etc.

TET- I went to your site, the pictures are not working for all the 5th gen parts, I wanted to see more pictures of the RPF1s on your car. I currently have 17x8 38mm offset Enkei RPO1s and they barely clear my TTZ calipers on 04 Maxima rotors. I am going to get a set of new wheels in the spring, any places you would recomend to buy from ? inexpessive ? I'm looking at Advan RGs, TE37s, SSR Comps, GT-Ps, few Work wheels, and Nismo wheels for 350Z. I was almost set on the Nismos, but decided to take a look at other wheels in the 2K dollar price range.
