Newbie with tires/rims ... HELP

Alright guys before you chew me up keep in mind I don't know a lot when it comes to tires , never really interested me .
Buy I am hoping you can help !

I was looking at some Nissan 370z tires (base model) with wheels , I mostly care about the wheels I like the way they look , now I asked the seller if it would fit my car and he didn't know just like me .

So does anyone here know if it will fit an frs , stock suspension and has anyone else done it? I googled and searched forums but didn't find anything .

Thanks for any input

370z base:
Front - 18x8 +43mm
Rear - 18x9 +15mm

Now the front is going to be fine - in fact it could use a lower offset. Maybe get a 10-20mm spacer if you want a flush look. The back, however, I'm not sure if that would be safe to run. Someone will enlighten you to more specific details, but I imagine you run a huge chance of rubbing since it will be 2.3" closer to the fender.

Maybe buy a set of 4 front wheels?

I am pretty sure the 370Z wheels are a 5x114.3 bolt pattern, where we use a 5x100 on this car, so I don't think they will work buddy

Thanks,
Rick
