Maybe I should clarify. When looking straight down from the top, I am referencing the fender and how it lines up with the top outer edge of the tire. Not the bottom (near the ground) outer edge of the tire.
- 20 on the front does not poke past the fender, it is flush.
- 20 on the back does poke about 1/4".
I don't think you can properly judge poke from the front or rear really because of the shape of the fender and the camber in back. Using that, the stock wheels are flush (because the bottom of the tires are flush with the top of the fender). I know when you look at the car this is how you see it, but trying to describe the amount of poke from that vantage point is not going to be consistent because it changes as you go up or down the tire.
It would appear you prefer a light inset, so I think your idea of 15 on front and 10 on back would do that exactly. That's why, since I would prefer flush, the 20 front and 15 back would be my ultimate preference. Same as you, just 5 mm (0.2249718785") more to make it flush.
I am having this work done for me, so the whole stud replacement option would probably be as much as having my brakes done. Waste of money in my opinion. If I were doing it all myself it might be a different thing. I will live with the 20 on back even though 15 would look slightly better.
And by the way, Nismo wheels are good looking wheels, but the sport wheels are GREAT looking wheels.
