The Infiniti service manager here directed me to this site, which was VERY helpful:
Tire Size Calculator - tire & wheel plus sizing
According to that site, you can mount 245 tires on the OEM rims (7.5).
First thing I did when I got my G37xS was swap out the tires and wheels. I wanted to go w/ the 245/45/18 on all four, just like you, but after talking with the service manager and TireRack sales rep, I decided to go w/ 235/45/18 all around and couldn't be happier. I went w/ a slightly wider rim than the OEM (8.0 vs. 7.5) which helped a little bit w/ the aesthetics. The Infiniti rep and TireRack rep both said that there was a chance of rubbing on the front wheel wells (they weren't absolutely sure though) so I took their advice and played it safe.
Hope that helps!

Car looks awesome, incredible job w/ that film, really like the trunk trim~PERFECT!
Here's a link from my 07 G, I had staggered 18" sport rims and went w/ 235/50/18s all around and it worked great. No diameter issues as they're virtually the same as stock. There's some pics on the link too. Enjoy your new G and keep those pic updates coming!
