will 295/35 fit w/nismo 10.5 with 15mm offset?
I'm thinking about putting the nismo 9.5's on the front with 265/35's
and 295/35 on the back with 10.5. Both being 18in
Possible? rubbing issues?
I'm also thinking about getting the TEIN flex suspension - can the car be lowered at all with those tires/wheels?
I tried searching, but didn't come across anyone with that setup

I'm running Ray's GramLights 9.5 front and 10.5 rears with the tire sizes you originally posted. I'm running 25+ offsets and think they are perfect...no fender roll necessary and even put drop of 3/4".

I'm wanting to get as wide as I can get and don't really want to reinvent the wheel with offsets etc
I've been toying with the idea of putting 19's in the rear and 18's up front, the nismos have +15, +30, and +38 offsets.
Their 18's with 10.5 only have an offset of 15 as an option as far as I can find.
What about the fronts? Can you do an offset of 15 up front with the 9.5's and still be ok or should you go +30 all the way around?

The 18x10.5 et 15 Nismo wheel fits no problem on a stock height car with 275/40/18 tires. I don't have pics, but that is what Eugene from SP-Engineering runs with -1.5 deg. camber and has no rubbing.
When you lower the car clearance should improve... providing you don't dial out way too much camber. The 295/35/18 should fit well too, if anything just be prepared to roll the fender slightly. Shouldn't be needed though.
He also runs 18x9.5 et 12 up front and it does not rub, but in my oppinion is a little too wide unless you lower the car.
BTW it is a sick looking wheel!

My pics are saved on my home computer...and unfortunately it is currently down. However, a buddy is coming over Sunday eve to try and save the day...pm me your personal email address and if/when I can get my home computer up and running I'd be happy to send you some pics. I did a great deal of research prior to special ordering my Ray's with that offset...unfortunately...offsets are pretty much a personal taste thing. If you run the same tire setup as myself....I can tell you no one has ever said they look too tucked...nor have they said they look too getto (is that politically correct?) Anyway...send me your email and I'll do what I can for ya.

I'm not sure what a 15 offset looks like. My wheels have 275/35 19 and sit flush with the fendor pretty much. I'm also dropped with tein s techs and i'm pretty sure I can easily fit a 295/35 19 on my 10.5 rear with no rolling or anything required. I would think the 295/35 18 would be no problem.

they do make lmgt-4's in 18x10.5, no one sells them here tho, you would have to special order them.

Right now I have +17 in the rear with 275/35/19s on a 10.5 rim and I needed to have my fenders rolled. My rim flushes EXACTLY to the rear fender. Now with a 10.5 with +15 offset riding on 285+ tires, its gonna stick out of the fender wall.

Well, with a +15 offset and tires wider than 275, you will definately need to roll your fenders plus have some camber to have it fit.
