10.5 Rear Nismo LMGT4 Help
Well guys i decided that i am going to fork up that $1300 for the 19x10.5 rear Nismo wheels however i need some help before i actually purchase them. I am currently running the 19x8.5 & 19x9.5 setup and was wondering if i should/could move the 9.5 wheel to the front and then stick the 10.5 wheel in the rear or do i leave the 8.5 in the front? Also what offset should i get the 10.5 in? Will i still be able to reuse my 255/275/35 tires on the new setup? And lastly i know i will have to roll the fenders for these to fit correctly, just need some help on the above items. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

255/35 on a 9.5 is fine, as well as the 275/35 on a 10.5... it just like the all the other guys running Volks..myself included. i would suggest running 285/35 when you get new tires for more grip.
even with the aggressive rear offset +15, it'll look fine once you lower your car and run camber of ~ -1.5*.. the fender might need to be rolled tho...

The car is already lowered on eibach pro-kits, with about a 1 inch drop. From the sounds of it i will need a 285/35 rear with a offset of +15. How about the front's? Can i move the 9.5 from the rear and put in the front without a problem?

There is no difference in concavity, the 10.5 just has a bigger lip.
Also Hop-up Racing just told that they discontinued the 10.5 wheels, and i have yet to recieve a reply from Gruppe-s, does anyone else know where i can get these from?

Id do the +15s - it will be very aggressive so fender roll/cut is necessary, but worth it. Many people here run the GTS which is a 19" +18/+17 combo with little issues (mainly a fender roll), and your only talking a couple mm difference with the +15 Nismos. If for some reason you dont like them, Im sure you could post them up for sale and have them sold pretty fast too.
