So a 265/35/19x9.5 on the back is just fine? I do want a little poke. Any spacer necessary for that? Maybe a 10mm?

I just need to figure out spacing on the front to not rub? And your best guess is a 25-30mm spacer for the front, correct?

Again, I'm sorry. This is my first car like this and the first time I've had to put tires on it, so I'm beyond lost.
Remember something about these cars; the wheel offset differential is roughly 1” or 25mm; so if you’re running identical wheels-you’d want 25mm spacers on rears (+ or -5mm) that’s unless you want the track width wider up front.

So, just to be clear, to run a square 265/35/19x9.5 setup, I'd need a 20mm spacer up front and a 25mm in the back?

Nope; roughly 25mm more in rear; if you drop on swifts-your camber will go negative more & make it easier for the 10.5” Nismo rear wheels to fit....but looking all through these different threads will help.
