Does anyone have this tire size on their car? I would like to confirm fitment without modification and if 245/35r18's would be the correct size if I wanted to go with that width, and 18" wheels.

And they look awesome on the car. 2003 Nissan 350Z Track Pack Black www.jrponline.com Dsm members get 10% off, see me.

However when I got them, they did shave a bit off the hub of the rim so they wouldnt stick out. EDIT: Also I have at least an inch of fender gap and thats with it lowered 1.25" so an 18" size with that low of a profile should fit perfectly.
