Default Thoughts on this tire/wheel setup

Hi everyone. I'm about to pull the trigger on a tire/wheel setup and just wanted some feedback on the setup. I'm copying a current member whose setup I loved with hopes it will work for me. I will be lowered on BC coilovers w/SPC rear camber and intend to go with Work Gnosis GS4's.

19X9.5+22mm 255/35/19
19X10.5+12mm 305/30/19

Thanks in advance for your comments/suggestions!

you'll definitely need to be lowered with ample front camber to make this thing look like it fits the car. imho these low offsets for the front are made for 350Z/G35C setups.

offsets aren't that low.

+22 front would look perfectly fine. You could probably even go up in tire width. I run a 275 with a +27 offset. and use oem camber arms up front. Never rubbed or had issues. Yours would be recessed 5mm more than mine.

As for the rear, you would be recessed 2mm more than my setup with that tire width. and i don't run a lot of camber.

i personally would not go lower than ET28 if 19x9.5 on this car.

ive seen ET22 and lower setups on the front and while they look okay diagnally from the back, from the front the tires just stick out too much like a tank or something unless you have a fairly large lip or body kit.

i just dont like tires sticking out the arches or hella flush a toilet look. that's all.
there is a reason why the offsets are so high on the stock and nismo wheels.

I run the exact setup your going for with the same tire size. It's looks great as long as you are lowered. I actually wish I had a little more offset in the rear but it's fine.
