Default Did I get it right?

I just bought some new wheels for my 97z and was wondering if i got the math right for the new tires I need get. The new ones are 18"x8.5" with a 35mm positive offset. If my math is right I'll need 216/50R18 correct? I used the tire conversion chart on Discount Tire to get it as close to the same dimensions as possible but I'm unsure if I'm doing it wrong.

Here is a link to the rims if anyone is curious. Is anyone already using these? If so what do you think of them? My Z is black and i'm thinking they'll look good.

I can't speak much about the fitment of the wheel itself, but I would either run a 245/40/18, 255/40/18, or 275/35/18 tire.
