Nitto's are expensive and many are running r888r because they are almost as good but are cheaper than both nt01 and re71r.

I have heard good things about the NT01s aswell but the sizing for 19s is limited. What front tire would you use for the fronts from the NT01 they only come in 3 sizes and I think 235 is a bit small and 285 is too big?

If you are sticking with a 19" wheel I would go 285 square...285 will fit up front at stock height.

On a stock Nismo ray 9.5 or 10.5 or both? New to offsets and tire setups this is where I'm having the trouble choosing size and setups

Yes, there is a tread dedicated to those wanting to go with fat tires on Nismo wheels. Some are running 325 on the rear and 285 up front.

I believe ssfirehawk is running 285 square and he does a few track days. I still think running 18s is the way to go. If you can handle the initial cost of wheels and tires you will recoup your loss overtime in the savings on buying tires.
