For meaty you need a 255 front and at least 275 out back. 235 is skinny.

Super aggressive offsets there, are you talking about widths (I hope).

your perception is wrong. This is NOT the thread for you. We do not want to see that crap here. Move along stance boy.

Those are stretched sizes for those tires man. You need like 255-275 up front and 285-295 out back.

Actually the thread title is a bit misleading, b-drizzy nailed the aggressive offset part

Running super aggressive offsets tends to eliminate the ability to run FAT tires

Maybe title should be Reasonable offsets w/ FAT tire thread.

Might have to run 255/40 all around, it will stretch enough to tuck inside the rear fender edge but not stretch enough to alter the diameter enough to cause problems w/ your AWD. If you run tires w/ a front to rear diameter variance over 1% you may cause the AWD light to come on at higher speeds and could cause some damage to that system.

Thank you both for your help I think I got everything sorted out. Went with 25540s on all 4s. No rubbing and the tire tucks in!

You could possibly run a 265/35 in back but then you'd need a 235/40 front and those sizes aren't that common, so finding tires you like might be a chore. 275s can work w/ extra camber but IMO keeping alignment close to spec is more important, especially w/ the more complex AWD setup.
I am going to buy Nismo wheels for my G tomorrow and was wondering who Ryne is or how I get some pictures of his car. Any help is appreciated! If not what specs will I have to run to make this work?

Thanks

Coupe or sedan? Nismo rears are a little too aggressive for a sedan is all...

Yeah, I wouldn't consider the staggered Nismos if I had a sedan, and if you have AWD that needs to be considered as well.
