Basically if I want to keep the current look I need to switch my 20mm for 15s and i should be good with an additional 2mm poke, which is not bad at all! Then when time for new tires I can bump it to either a 325 or 315. Not sure if I can do 285 up front because I'll be dropping the car on some swifts spring too, granted I'm only lowering the car an inch but I haven't seen anyone done 285 and lowered yet. What do you guys think? Do we have enough room up front to run 285s and swifts?
Yes exactly, but I didn't think you'd want to spend money on 15mm spacers and deal with changing studs and everything just for a temporary fitment (if 305s are temporary that is). The only only issue with 305/30R19s are that they are 2.4% smaller in diameter than the original Nismo 285/35/R19s. The 325/30R19s are only 0.7% smaller than the 285s, but 0.4% larger than the Sport's 275s..so the 325/30R19s are a balance in the middle between Sport package spec tires and Nismo spec tires.

I'm pretty sure the fronts will be fine since I'm thinking of adding a 5 or 10mm spacer upfront still...the rear is flush with 325s but the front is still inset a little.

Besides, the lower you go the more camber you get (unless you install camber arms) so you'll have even more room. On the inside there's no issues, the tire clears the knuckle (the closest thing to the tire).
