Current mods and Future Goals!
WHEEL SETUP
-I got my suspension parts coming in now, I got myself some lowering springs and some camber arms for the wheel setup. I'm looking into getting some used eBay wheels because I found some nice ones on there; would you guys recommend getting wheels that are a little bigger and filling them with the hub-centric rings? Another thing I ordered is some sport brake pads, hopefully, the braking is A-1!
FUTURE PLANS
I have very simple plans since I realized the cost of building an NA engine and going turbo are going to be similarly priced. I'm getting myself some mods to make sure my car runs right, getting the KANJI turbo kit along with a basic turbo wheel and some more parts, etc...etc. Getting very excited and since I'm working lots of hours but I'm able to occupy myself with this build, I feel like it's going to progress very very fast. I'll update you guys in another month or so and hopefully, by then the engine bay will be satisfying to look at. I'll update once more when I buy some wheels, the plenum spacer, and my intake!!! IF you guys have any suggestions, I'll be happy to listen!

Regarding hub-centric rings, the odds are you will need them regardless. Most aftermarket wheels have a 73mm hub bore so you'd need hub rings spacing down from 73 (or whatever the wheels are) to 66.1mm (standard Nissan hub size). Check the wheel specs on whatever you buy/bought and get the proper hub rings.
Also, you definitely need new front upper control arms (FUCA) to run any additional front camber. Stock is non-adjustable. Required for proper alignment on a lowered car regardless.

Should I get some wheels that are less wide? What are some specs for wheels that’ll fit the car?

if it were me, i would ditch the 19s and go back to 18s with sizes something like
18x10.5+15 rear with a 275/40 tires
18x9.5 +23 (some +15 fit) in the front with a 255/40 tire
this is my old z with those sizes, well i had 18x9.5 not the 10.5 lke you want... but the extra inch goes towards middle of car
18x10.5+15 rear with a 275/40 tires
18x9.5 +23 (some +15 fit) in the front with a 255/40 tire

I've run them all.... 18s, 19s, offsets from +15 to +33, widths from 8 to 11. The best fit I've found is 9.5F,10.5R with offsets from +15 to +22 (essentially reiterating Trav's suggestions) and 245 (or 255)F width and 275 (or 285)R tire widths.
Just for reference, here's a 10.5 +22 with 285 tire on my Z. I use this pic a lot to illustrate fitment. But a 9.5 wheel with lower offset like +15 and 275 tire fits nearly as close. Matter of fact, it was my 10th or so set of wheels on any of my 33s in a 9.5 +15 size that necessitated me to roll/seal my rear fenders.

Travlee's setup is the spot-on setup OR I should say, the most commonly used. You can fit square 10.5s but not without some fuss (like the aforementioned suspension/body tweaks - FUCAs, camber arms, possible fender roll & seal or pulls.)

Square 10.5 setup can be done. I've ran both 19x10.5 +23 all around (OEM 370 Nismo wheels), and now Nismo CR57 Clubsports, 19x10.5 +22 all around. Tires are 275/30 front and 305/30 rear. Fitment is about perfect in my opinion. I do have billet SPL arms and rolled rear fenders. Front fender liner screw is also removed, but has caused zero issues. Camber isn't overly aggressive and plenty of contact patch to put down the power.
