Here..........These wheels fit and work well with these cars, as if they were made for them...Oh wait, they were Haha!....... tire sizes are 285/30/18 front and 315/30/18 rear
IMO, these sizes work and look the best on these wheels

.....No these tire sizes work GREAT and look good as well. This combo has been used on the street and abused on the track by us and our customers for years, no problems.

While I believe this statement, I would argue that while I'm sure they're killer on the track and street on cars that make over 400WHP, those tires are complete overkill on a non-FI street car and will likely slow you down.
Also, what BRANDS/STYLES of tires have you guys been running in those sizes? Those sizes are technically outside the manufacturers ranges for the Nismo wheels and while what you guys are/have been using may work ok, the same might not be able to be said for ALL tires in those sizes.
As for looks, that is subjective; they're balooned out way too much for my taste. I prefer the slightly stretched look that seems to be more JDM/drift car popular. I run Falken RT-615s, 235/40 F, 255/40 R and they look great and have LOADS of grip on my NA '03 Track with bolt-ons; more than I'll ever need on the street. They run a bit wide in tread widths and are actually equivalent to a 245 in F and 265 in R on other brands, which is the size they put on the '06 Rays wheels from the factory.

As long as you are happy, thats all that realy matters. I will keep using what works for me, us, and our customers. Over the years, we have tried pretty much EVERY size combination of wheels and tires on these cars, and we have decided to stick with what works best (NA and FI)

I'm sure I know the answer already but can anyone with either the +25/+30 or +30/+30 offset 18" Nismo rims advise whether or not a 355mm/328mm Stoptech BBK will fit underneath without any spacers, etc?

the 18" LMGT4s +25/+30 will clear 355mm bbk easily. thats what i run. no spacers needed.
