I want to go minimum 11.5 rear, not a lot of offset choices out there without going custom.

A 9.5" wheel with a +40 offset is not the same as a 10.0" wheel or a 10.5" wheel with a +40 offset.
Take your time and don't order anything yet. it appears you have a ways to go to get the look you want.
I would suggest talking with Josh at Kamispeed.

I'm definitely taking my time, the car came with fairly new 265 front and 305 rear RE71's on the stock V1 Nismo wheels. Thanks for the tip on Kamispeed.

I ran 285/35/19’s on 19x10+38 without any rubbing...clearance is tight (about a pinky finger) at closest points.
That wheel has 7” of backspacing.
Ran +38 19x12’s out back with 8” backspacing...a bit much/as I had to replace oem traction arm bolt with thinner head bolt & washer.
Mine had only -1.0* camber all over max...you can definitely go more aggressive with offsets if you elect to increase negative camber.
Also I recommend to setup your suspension first & would make a lot easier to measure up for wheel specs

Great information. It looks like the fronts are going to tight but should work. The rears with a +22 could be an issue.
Suspension upgrades are in the works right now. Wheel tire upgrade is down the line a little bit.

275/40/18 on an 18x10.5 +18

Stock nismo is 9.5 +40
Look at the fitment:


There is a CAVERN of space, which is why the stock fronts are so terrible

I agree. I was hoping the 285 would take up some of that space but if there's going to be rubbing on the inside then I'll have to go another route as the wheels I was looking at only come in the +40 offset front and I don't want to run a spacer.

Custom order and get what you want. That is the only way to do without spacers properly.

I was hoping to find off the shelf but I'll probably have to end up going custom.

grab one of those sets of used TE37's in the for sale section
forged
19x9.5 +22/19x10.2 +12 will fit easily
you can fit a 275 in front if you want

I might have to go with 19's as there are a lot more choices out there but I wanted to go with 20's as they would fill in the fender gap being that I have to stay close to stock ride height due to clearance issues in my driveway.

Fix your driveway dude.... LMAO. I navigate 1/4 mile down a dirt road with a little red clay in the middle. I make it happen on coilovers and lowered.

It's the transition going from the access road into my carport. I can literally get my car high centered if I don't back out at the right angle. Ask me how I know. Nothing I can do about it unless I move and that ain't happening.

For some reason, socal is notorious for steep angle driveways, everywhere. Even pulling out of my garage in my complex, Ill need to pull out a little, backup, turn more, then drive off, otherwise i get stuck....on the rain channel..even speedbumps in parking lots are like mini mountains.

if you're using the wheel diameter to fill the wheel gap then you're doing it wrong

get some damn coilovers or air and do it right

From your mod list it is apparent that budget isn't an issue


Why would you dump that much money into your engine and go cheap on suspension?

There's plenty of setups that will achieve better fitment, useability, and performance if you're willing to shell out the money.

Good coilovers and air cups
