Given the 2010 GTR wheels are a tight fit on a sedan, what would the ideal tire size be?
A stretch 255/35/20 is typically what is run in the back as the 10.5 +25 is too aggressive to run a standard fit. You will probably need a fair amount of camber if you are lowered, as the wheel edge will be outside the fender w/ camber under -2 and could contact under heavy compression. To be honest I would pass on staggered GTRs on a sedan, all front GTR wheels is a much easier way to go

I have a 2010 G37x base sedan and I'm eyeing Esr sR12 19x9.5 +35. Will this clear the bbk? They also have 19x8.5 +30. What tire set up should I mount on these? Might buy coilovers in future.

I emailed ESR and apparently it will clear the bbk. I also asked about the ESR RF1 forged 19x9.5 +22 and it will also clear the bbk. I'm leaning towards more on the RF1. Whats the best tire set up for the Rf1's dimensions?
Flush fit w/ the +20 offset, would need a front spacer if you want the same fit at the fender edge vs. the rear.
The TSW website recommended +20 for the 19x8 front, and +40 for the 19x9.5 rear. Does that sound OK? If I need to buy spacers, that's OK, I just don't want to buy the wrong offset and end up with "poke"
I'm not looking for a perfectly flush setup, I would like the wheels more flush than the OEM wheels. I was driving behind a modified G37 coupe, and his wheels were perfectly flush at the top of the fender, but the majority of the tire was sticking out past the body (because the body side is curved inwards) and looked silly in my old-man eyes.
Also trying to avoid the rim lip sticking out past the tire sidewall. I think 245 on 8" rim should be enough to protect rim lip, but how about 275 on the 9.5" rear rims? Will 275 have some meat past the rim lip to offer a little lip protection?
My last car had OEM wheels that tires looked "stretched" and the face and lip were exposed, those wheels were constantly getting damaged no matter how careful I was. I like the OEM setup I have right now where the tire sidewall protects the wheel a little. If I slightly touch something with my wheel it doesn't hurt anything.

Yes, if you want the front 8.5 +20 without any spacing then go w/ the 9.5 +40, get everything installed and space the rear out to your liking vs. the front. The 9.5 +20 will be quite a bit more flush and one mans flush may be another's poke, lol as it really is something that depends on the user Also a 245 on an 8 and a 275 on a 9.5 are good mounts w/ decent sidewall profile, not stretched and not pinched (the 245 on the 8 is just a slight pinch).
