New wheels? Offset Question.

I just seen a guy selling a set of wheels. The only thing is that the rears are 18x9.5 with a +25 offset. They have 245/40/18 tires on them now. So what do you guys think.......get chance on fitting on a 5th gen? I'm lowered with Ksports, so I know I can adjust the height, but if it's going to give me too many rubbing problems, I might not chance it. Anybody running a similar set up? Just checking........thanks in advance.

They won't fit, do not even consider them.

You know what, I really like the way that the GramLights look on the car, but they really look small! I guess it's because the spoke doesn't extend all the way to the edge of the lip. I bought them because I got a pretty good deal on them, and I was looking for something other than my OEM style G35C's. I'll probably keep both sets for now, if everybody thinks that these won't work.
$tillenmax2k: It's the offset that's going to kill me, right? Because I know I've seen guys running 9.5's in the back.......but just not with a +25, I guess! Oh, and by the way, they were a set of Bronze Nismo LMGT4's. They were 18"x8.5" fronts with a +30 (225/40/18), and a 18"x9.5" rear with a +25 (245/40/18). God, those things would've looked sweet. They were supposedly off a 350Z, but that seems a little small for a 350. I thought they go wider in the front and back? I don't know.....
So, is that the end of story, guys??? Should I just forget it? I don't know, for some reason, I really want to get these wheels. Am I alone on this one?

Edit: The guy just messaged me saying that the offset is a +25 in the front. I didn't rub with my G35C's (+30 on a 8" wide rim)..........what about a 8.5" with a +25?

They'll fit but they'll stick out too far. Not practical

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. The +30 offset on the G35's looked ideal. (SIGH) Those Bronze Nismo's would've looked pretty nuts. Oh so JDM'ish!
