Hey guys im about to change tires for the first time. I want to run 285 rears and 265 fronts. The tires I want are fine for the rears (285/35/19) but the matching tire for the front only comes in a 265/30. Will that smaller aspect ratio look weird in the front? And with those size tires what specers should I run to flush the tires with the fenders? Thanks

will Nismo OEM rear wheels fit at the front? 19"x10.5" +23?

I am thinking to get a square setup

it will fit but only with camber and a tire stretch. You will most likely rub too if your lowered. Most guys are running 10 +20~25 or so in the front when they are trying to go big like that. Your adding 6.5mm more to the outside making you more aggressive than most people on 10's up front. You can try it but its going to require some work. I hope this helps

I don't think there are any in production. I know a few guys were trying to get some vendors to produce them but I don't know if anything came of it.

I agree. 4 Rear Nismo wheels would be pretty sick. Maybe stagger the tire size a bit though. It's also going to be pretty expensive.
