Very aggressive front, ok rear.

I am running 20x11 +15 front with a 275/30/20. -3 deg camber, rolled fenders, and front bumper tab shaved. Zero rubbing, but you do need a shop that knows what it's doing and SPL front upper control arms to get it done.

Rears are ok. A bit more aggressive than the 19x10.5 +12 fitment that everyone runs in rear with a 305 tire, and its not really flush. 20x11 +0 would be needed to match the aggressiveness in front.

For reference . . .

Here's my ride height:


Front


Rear (20x12 +20 w/ 315/25/20 at -2 deg camber)

Okay I think I finally decided,

Wheels are Ferrada FR3s in 20x9 + 25 & 20x10.5 +15
with Nitto NT555 gen2s - 265/35/20 in the front and 305/30/20 in back.
SPC camber kit front and back, lowered just enough to close the fender gap on kw v3s
Wanting to run stock camber, with no poking out beyond the fenders.

What do you think? Will it fit? Rub? Those tires to big for that wheel size?
I don't want buldgy sidewalls.

Sounds good. The overall height is about 1/2" taller than stock spec but should be pretty even f/r so I wouldn't worry about it beyond it taking a little more toque to turn the increased diameter. Rest of the specs are bang on I'd say.

"No Buldgy Sidewalls" may want to consider a 255/35,295/30/20...as these are more designed for the wheel width's that you posted & are an even 27.0"
Unsure if they're offered in the G2's

I just bought some Works

19x10 +8
19x11 0

First, will it clear? Second what tires do you guys recommend? A slight stretch I don't mind, but I don't like the aggressive stretch look.

Thanks in advance ✌🏽

? Unsure the negative camber you're planning to run; but most likely will be a stretched tire & smaller diameter than stock.
Here's a 285/35/19 on a 19x10+38....you're 1.2" further out with your wheel lip.

Option Zero will chime in with some expert advice,,,as he's running aggressive offset wheels!

just scroll up to see how my setup looks.

DPE_G is running a 20x11 +0 in back on a 285/30/20. Before he went bags he had about -2 camber in back (roughly stock). It's an aggressive size in back but looks damn good. Note that my 20x12 +20 is actually less aggressive and i am running a wider 315/25/20. I am also a -2 camber and have room to to up to a 325/25/20, which i might do on my next set of tires.


For your 19x11 +0 i would run 285/35/19. That is the same size that stock nismos use on a 19x10.5 +23 rim, and it's sunk as hell. It is more than doable. The mild, mild stretch will give you extra breathing room.

Checking the offset calculator, your 19x10 +9 fronts are 6mm LESS aggressive (stick out less) than my fronts of 20x11 +15. I am able to clear a 275/30/20 tire at -3 camber.

I would recommend the same size tire as stock, a 245/40/19. Note that stock nismo is 19x9.5, just a half inch more narrow. No problems fitting the tire on that size rim.

Given how much your front wheels will stick out, however, you will need SPL Front upper control arms for camber/caster adjustment. Stock camber is around -1; i bet you'll need around -2 to clear depending how low you are. I'd also roll your front fenders to avoid rubbing on bumps.


The last issue is BRAKE CALIPER CLEARANCE. this depends on the spoke design on your specific wheel; in particular which "disc" option your wheels have. Since you did not give us that info or what model, we cannot answer that question. It does not matter what width/offset your wheel is, the spoke design dictates clearance and that is specific for the manufacturer.

Summary:
Brake clearance - unknown without more info
tires - run 245/40/19 and 285/35/19, same as stock nismo. Your wheels are only half an inch wider than stock, i don't wanna hear about stretched tires for such a tiny difference.
get SPL FUCAs for camber adjustment

I've seen/heard of enough slammed and stanced cars in Houston to know there must be competent alignment shops in the area that can dial in your setup, so it shouldn't be hard to get it all put together

good luck
roll front fenders

Thanks guys, awesome responses... I bought the wheels off of rav spec. I have a 2012 nismo. The salesman assured me that the calipers would clear, I hope he was right...but thanks again guys, I was a lil worried about the aggressiveness, but I did want the aggressive look.. 👊🏽

Thanks dude 👍🏽. Yea, there's a shop out here that specializes in Z's... I just wanted to be sure to get tires on and ready for alignment. I don't like leaving my car anywhere over night. So I wanted to be ready so I can make an appointment and be in and out... again, thanks a bunch.
And I really did space out on the two set ups being only .5" different. Once I read that, I kinda felt dumb smh... but thanks 👊🏽

what Work wheels are they?
Rav Spec knows what its doing as they move alotta wheels for all sorts of cars

It should be easy enough to tell.

Just go to whatever page for your model of wheel here:
Products – WORK Wheels USA

Open up the size chart, find your offset/width, see what disc (A-Disc, T-disc, R-disc, etc.)

T-disc is the "big caliper" face design
All others will have correspondingly less brake clearance but more lip

I looked at my invoice hoping it would say it there, but it doesn't. When I ordered them, he told me the disk, but I totally forgot.

I bought me the CR2P

Size chart from this page
Emotion CR 2P – WORK Wheels USA

Probably "R-disc" front (no concave face) and "A=disc" rear (concave)

Unfortunately there is no way to get concave face in front that clears our brakes, at least not in a size from work. You'd need spacers to get concave fronts.
