Thanks Mindows, those are 245/45/18s, but if I were to do it over I'd go w/ 255/45 or 255/40, there's enough room in front and the back even more. Depending on your offset w/ the RPFs you might even get 265/40s in there, I may try them in back when I'm ready for new tires and try a test fit in front on 265s then decide if I can run them up there too.
The search for winter tires continues haha. Thank you man
Those 18s look HAWT. Nice job filling the gap with some meaty tires how does she ride?
Also, Just finished these up. 19x9.5 +40 255/40/19
Will post better pictures tomorrow.
Thanks Phil, look forward to some more pics of your Nismos, great choice there!
And the ride on my 18s is great, a bit quicker since I've lost some rotational weight, and a bit more "padding" due to the taller sidewall, so a WIN!

19x9.5+35 275/35??
Look forward to what you find, the 9.5 +35 will be a bit outside the fender when looking straight down (my 9.5 +38 are about 3mm out from the fender so those +35 would be another 3mm further out), so to get a good tuck when compressed I probably would stick w/ a 255 or at the max a 265.
Here's some 255s on Soundmikes 18x9.5 +38 from a post long ago~ To 18s back i go! - G35Driver
I have a 2012 X-Coupe with 8.5" sport wheels, 225/45/19 tires.
I am looking to go to 9.0" sport wheels with 255/40/19 tires.
The 2011-2014 9.0" sport rims come in two offsets (Vert and regular?)
Number 73756 with 30mm offset and 73759 with 45mm offset.
Not sure which one will work for my setup. 45mm offset seems closer.
Car has mild drop (Tanabe springs) with front and rear camber kits.
I would appreciate any advice!
Thanks.
Check staffer Lt8che's setup, he's running 9.5+30 on 265s and the fit is very flush. Your 9+30 on 255s would be a better fit on your AWD coupe vs. the +45 offset. Your fit w/ +30 on 255s would be 6mm in for the width and 5mm for the narrower tires, so a net 11mm further into the fender than Lt8ches setup, so will give you a bit more wiggle room. So I'd run the +30s for a better flush fit. https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...ml#post3815735
This is my first awd, i assume with the wider tire, the better ( will be fitted with all season)
I guess im concerned with the offset. I understand in other people setup, the 30's offset seem to be pretty flush, but i am favoring the look of the 19x9.5, so would the 22 ofset be sticking out a bit from the car?
Stock height, will consider lowering options after wheels installed
Thanks for the help everyone

I have 18x9 square +35 w/ 265 tires and lowered on Eibachs there is a few mm to spare but overall quite flush. I think the TSWs would fit beautifully, and you could always reduce the effective offset with a 10mm spacer if you want to go super flush.
I think the other wheels would fit if you lower sufficiently without ridiculous camber, especially with 255 tires. Ultimately if you fit the tires under the fender you can have a bit of wheel poking out if you like that look.
Edit:
Here is member ChinkyChoy on 19x9.5 +25. Not sure what tires he is on here but looks like wheels fit:

As mentioned before, the TSW would be the more conservative fit, which would be in your best interest since you are not lowered. I'm at 19x9.5 +33 with 245/40 all around, with 2 degrees of camber and that's about as flush as I'm willing to get (zero gap). A 9.5 +22 will fit, there have been more aggressive fitments on a sedan, but usually require fender pulling, additional camber, much lower suspension, and stretched tires.
In short, go with the TSW. But if you really like the style of the VMR, chat with my buddy Tracy at VMR, he is their sales rep for the JDM market. I'm sure he can set you up with something that fits your ideal setup
I took a few quick pics last night to give some reference for those considering setups.
Sorry for the condition of the car, it has been parked for a few weeks waiting for shocks.
Keep in mind:
a) I am lowered on Eibachs, and shocks/struts are shot so some times the car "sits" funny (leans to one side), especially in the rear.
b) The tires are 265/35R18 which make the car sit ~17mm lower than the OE tires. Not ideal but I didn't want to throw away perfectly good tires.
c) Rims are 18x9 +35.
how does she ride?
