Yes it will.

That's great, I was worried the most about the front tires since the tread width will be 1.5" wider. I wasn't sure it would tuck under the fender without rubbing. It is .8" shorter though. Is that why it will work?

I have 275/35/19 up front on a 19x10+26 and only scrape on dips in the roads. Your OEM Nismo front wheels are 19x9.5+40. I'm also lowered, which doesn't help my case. Either way, your front wheels are 1" more inside the fender than mine are. You have nothing to worry about.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate the advice. Can't wait to get the tires.

just an fyi. its not really 1.5" wider per say. The wheels are measured from the inside area where the tire beads go. There is then that lil extra edge to the wheels which for most companies ad's up to around 1 to 1.2" so a 10" wide wheel if you measure from the very outside to the other outside edge is normally actually around 11" to 11.2" Which is why the 275 will actually look really good and fit well on your front. I have a 275 on my front 10" wheel and im considering moving to a 285 or 295.
