looking for an answer to a more direct wheel question...

Ok, here we go again with another "will it fit" question. Here is my problem/question. I am a technician at a Nissan dealership in NC. I have never taken the time to understand wheel sizes to the point of what "will fit" and "will not fit." My parts department does not have the answer I am looking for and niether do the experts at tire rack. My question is can I find a tire size that will allow me to use the ever so popular Nismo wheels you see so often on the 350's. Now I know they will matcht the stud pattern of the SE model, which I have. My only question is will it fit AND look right with the 215/40 18s that tire rack recomends I use. My concern is the fact that I believe the rear are 18x8.5 and the front is 18x8.0. Does anyone have any ideas on if they will fit or not? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Sean

I think this one is new, haven't noticed it before anyway...
