Yeah need photos. I wouldn't go wider than 8 or 8.5 in your case.

If you have fender flares though, you definitely want to fill those out, or it will look terrible.

trying to get pics upm but every time i try to get them attached, they keep saying their too big.

Need to take a pic of the OZ Racing wheels that I will be using as my temp setup.

They are currently buried in the garage on a wheel stand, under wraps.

Wow. That is....different. I think I like it, except for maybe the front bumper cover, it's just too busy, too much going on. The trunk spoiler is sweet.

You definitely need the wheels pushed out to pull of the fender flares. Are they molded on?

yeah, people love it and hate it at the same time....a lot of people love it in person, and not so much in pics...plus people who are into the oem look, wont like it because it is very loud...but mind you the car started as a show car a long long time ago...and then i started making it more fun to drive, hence the turbo kit, brake up grade, coilovers, etc.....

BUUUT more importantly...im trying to give it a stance look at close as possible,,,,wht you think?? can i get 18*9.5 under it, or do i have to go with 17*9?? im concerned bout the front...and the height will most likely stay at whts in the photos, give or take a half an inch maybe

oh yeah, the fender flares are molded...and surprisingly enough, it still looks good with the 19*8, but after me having my g35 and experimenting with offsets and poke, i def know that i want to get a better stance with my original baby!!

You're keeping the car more functional, as you should with the performance upgrade. So if the ride height isn't really changing, it's not a question of diameter, but really width. And with the flares, I don't see a 9.5 width being a problem. If anything, it may potentially poke a little in the front, but the rear you are golden, and may even need a spacer. Can't be sure since I don't know how far out the flares protrude.

im thinking an 18x9 with a 30 offset maybe a 5 mm spacer in the rear or front maybe some 235/40's would do the trick all around and deff lower like 1/4in to at least keep it at 1 finger gap all around
