I don't think so.
Sorry in advance, too busy to pretty it up, but here's some cut and paste from my G35 sedan wheel and tire research notes that may help:
________________________
Sedan fitments according to Discount Tire Co:
WIDTH / OFFSET / SIZE
6.5 +30/+50 205/215
7.0 +30/+50 205/215/225/235
7.5 +33/+50 205/215/225/235
8.0 +38/+50 215/225/235/245
8.5 +45 235/245
REAR ONLY
9.0 +55 245/255
Q.) Using 7.0 as an example: Is the "+30/+50" numbering the minimum/maximum offset for that wheel width? For 205 v. 235 wide tires, which end of the offset scale should one lean towards?
A.) Most availability will be right smack in the middle at +40. When only using a narrow 7" a 35 is nice as it pushes outwards towards the fender lip for a more aggressive stance
Q.) So, if I put an 18" 7.5 +40 on the rear, will it fits well? Or will the rear wheel turn out to be too skinnier look?
A.) 18x7.5 +40 on a sedan? It will bring the assembly out around 3/4" farther than stock for a much better look.
Q.) If you stick with the stock size (215/55R17) then you have three choices only and theyre all the OEM tires:
Goodyear Eagle GS-D (summer performance)
Goodyear Eagle RS-A (all-season performance)
Bridgestone Turanza EL42 (all-season touring)
The best alternative size is 235/50R17. It fits the stock 17x7 rims, is nearly the same diameter, and has more tire choices available (though still not a stellar selection). Second best size-wise would be 225/50R17 or 225/55R17 these will have some speedometer/odometer variation, though the actual tire selection is a little broader.
Or you can get aftermarket rims and go to a different wheel size. If youre trying to figure out what sizes might work, this Tire Size Calculator will be a useful tool:

Q.) Will coupe 18 wheels fit on sedan?
Q.) I have a G35 Sedan with the 18 Coupe wheels & tires 245/45 rear and 225/45 front, I like how it looks rear but theres a gap in front that I dont like too much. Anyone with a Sedan with the OEM 18? Any recommendation of what springs I can use? I dont want any scraping and ubbing problems then.
A.) Coupe Wheels will fit fine without lowering. The lower you go you will run into rubbing. I put my 18 Coupe wheels on my Dads sedan. We have to roll the lips on the back because its a little too close for comfort. We went with the lowest drop for the G so far, 1.75 Sprint Suspension Springs. Looks damn good though. 9 wide on the sedan will fit without any wheel well mods. Giovanna has 19x9 wheels on their lowered sedan. In the Tampa area, a sedan has 20x9 wheels on all four corners with no wheel well mods. The key, is offset. The offset of the 18-inch wheels on the coupes with brembos is +30mm front and rear.
Q.) I have the G35 Sedan with Sport suspension. Originally was going to get 225/45/18 tires and 7.5 wheels, but not much selection in stock in that tire size. Two different people suggested 245/45/18. Anyway, in a moment of trigger happiness I ordered a full set of 245/45/18 tires with 8.5 rims (+45 offset). But now, a couple of hours later, Im hoping they fit OK. Ive read that some people have this same setupbut Im getting the post-purchase heebie jeebies and hope these tires wont show up and not fit in the front. Basically, they are going to be an extra 19mm wide on both the inside and outside of the wheel
A.) Would have fit all day long. We had that on a sedan here, and he now has 19s. It was a great fit and no issues...even when he dropped it. Theres more than a few sedans out there with 245/40/19s on a 19x8 or 19x8.5 with a 35 to 38mm backspace that look really good with totally stock suspension and no rubbing.
Q.) Whats the largest size tires & wheels you can mount on the sedan without any problems, 225-45-18?
A1.) Enkei 17"x8" w/ Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 255/45/17, with 2 passengers I had no problems and with a loaded trunk I didn't either. There's enough clearance for me to lower it 2" and still have no problems. I think I might go the 1.1 route with the Eibachs though.
A2.) I have 245/35/20's on my sedan and it's lowered with Eibach's. That's probably max as far as wheel diameter and overall tire diameter. As far as different widths, I'm not sure, but mine are really close with 245's.
A3.)

Front 18 X 8.5 245/40/ZR18 Potenza S-03 Pole Position
Rear 18 X 9.5 275/35/ZR18 Potenza S-03 Pole Position
front offset was +37 rear offset was +55
A4.) I know someone with 19" on their Sedan Front 19x8.5 245-35-19 Rear 19x10 265-30-19
A5.) Ok, I did my wheel and tire buying after a ton of research. My goal's were, rims have to weigh less than oem and they have to have a 45mm offset so I could toy with wheel spacers if needed to stuff the fattest possible tire in the wheel well's without rubbing on either the suspension or the fender lips. I'm running 245/40-18" all the way around. In the front I have 2mm clearance from the suspension, If I use my H&R wheel spacers I think I might be able to stuff a 255 tire in the front. In the rear with the 45mm offset rims I can run a 255 tire no problem, could run a 265 tire no problem to, except a 265 tire should not be run on a 8" rim. If someone was willing to pay big $$ they'd likely be able to find a rim setup with a high offset and 9" rear's. In any event when these tires need to be replaced I'm going to run 245's in the front, but upgrade to 255's in the rear. My own testing confirms the fact that the car should have been equipped oem with a staggered setup.
A6.) VDC is okay as long as you put 4 of the same size tires on all four corners, don't stagger the tires on the sedan (like they do on the coupe). For speedometer/odometer, pay attention to the tire diameter, and keep it as close as possible to the stock size. 235/50R17 and 235/45R18 are just about perfect. 225/55R17 and 225/45R18 are not as close, but still within allowable tolerances. Infiniti officially says 225 is the widest you should go on the front. I figure 235 is still okay. 245 is pushing it, but I see some others are doing that -- don't know what would happen if you hit a hard bump with the steering wheel fully turned with a tire that wide, though. The only catch with 235/45R18, is that the tire selection is as limited as (if not worse) than the stock 215/55R17. Tire Rack recommends 235/50R17 for 17" rims, and 225/45R18 for 18" rims for our sedans. There are plenty of good performance tire choices available in these sizes.
Q.) What do the stock sedan wheels weight (the 17s)?
A.) The 6-Spoke wheels are 21.5 lbs., the 5-spoke are 23lbs each.
Q.) Can anyone suggest a good online retailer for wheels?

sincen you are lowing it down, and taking all the parts off, you might as well change a muffler...
