Hey so i just got GTR rims and need help with what to do as far as tires go. My car is stock ride height and don't really plan on lowering it for now. Ive seen some people say to use 225/30 for the fronts and 255/30 for the rears. Would that be the best size to use? I plan on getting spacers for the front. But for the rears i would prefer to not have to mess with a camber kit if possible. Thank you!
For that 10.5 +25 a stretch 255/30 is probably best at stock height, should tuck ok at in-spec camber. A 20mm front spacer should get a decent fit up there too, and to get a similar sidewall stretch to the back that stretch 225/35 (not "30") will work out.

Thanks Blnewt I will look into getting a setup like that, you don't think id have to mess with camber at all? Just get tires and spacers and install exactly like that?
Should be ok, only issue might be the rear bumper bracket, but at stock height you'll have to be really compressed to make any contact there, might even hit the bump stops prior to that point. Like I mentioned, better to run 225/35s in front not 225/30s, the 225/30s are almost 3/4" shorter than the rear 255/30s. The 225/35s are 1/5" taller than the rears which is less dramatic.

Sweet thanks for your help man! Will post pics once i get them setup!
Another question if anyone knows, I'm ready to take everything to get installed. Will the GTR TPMS work on my g37 or will I need to swap out the GTR ones with the ones from my g37? Thank you!

AFAIK they wouldn't be compatible, so switching out your G37 valves would be the way to go.
Here are some pictures of the rims and tires installed with 20mm spacers in the front and all 4 tires are 255/35/20
Thanks again for all the help Blnewt basically used everything size wise you told me to and i like how it looks. Do get some type of rubbing in the rear but very rarely either going over bumps or on freeway rarely but not a big deal.

Set looks nice on your G, perfect color too!
That rubbing in the back may be the bumper bracket, common issue w/ wider setups, the bracket can be shaved back w/ a dremel tool. It may also be the fender liner, and this isn't a big deal. Should be able to ID where it's coming from, might have to jack up a side to get a better look.
