18x9 and 18x10 et25 all around is doable but will still require some work.

For 9" 225 and probably a slight roll.

For 10" 255 and shave the rears a bit. You might be able to get away with 265.

The lower you go, it'll tuck better.

Not all cast wheels break, when I had my Maxima a few years back I hit a curb looking speed bump pretty hard. Sure 3 out of 4 tires popped, but rims were ok

what's a 10.5 offest on the GS
Also, what makes 19s ride better? Maybe if you use a bigger sidewall tire; more cushion, but if you don't, what's the difference?

That's actually a Japanese brand of cigarettes. My friend brought me home a carton when he was over there and they are very smooth.

It's OK. I assumed you meant width. Offset simply put, determines how far your wheel will sink in or stick out.
