Anyone know what the stock wheel fitment for the performance model is?

Trying to figure out what secondary set of wheels I should get (for track use). This website seems to make a lot of sense, but I'm missing a bit of data.
https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wh...-19X9.5ET22&fcl=15mm&wcl=53mm&scl=15mm&sr=0mm

I did "ghetto" measurements to acquire the fender, wheel well, and suspension clearances, so they aren't exactly all that precise or accurate (For instance, I acquired the front suspension clearance by simply sticking my middle and index finder in for a reference, then measured the distance between the top of my middle and bottom of my index finger). I also don't have scrub radius. I want to try and hit that sweet 0 scrub radius if I can. If you know the stock fitment, that would be largely helpful. Thanks :)

So the Nismo has a 0 scrub radius with the OEM 19x10 +33, you could run a 10.5 +33 square and keep the 0 scrub radius and use the appropriate spacer in the rear to make it rotatable. If you want to run 19x11 square you will have to push the front wheel out a bit and have a slightly positive scrub radius by a few mm ( 3-6mm positive )

Stock performance is 19x9.5 +40 front and 19x10 +30 rear. The stock front is a 0 scrub radius. For the track my understanding is that getting more rubber on the ground is more important than worrying about a little bit of scrub radius. Also. It’s better to have a square setup for more than one reason. You need to figure out what all is of importance to you. Poke or not, scrub radius vs width etc. Also. 18’s would probably be a better size for the track as well. This helps with sticky tire availability at a better price which can help a lot. Hope this helps. Good luck on your search!

Going slightly positive on the scrub radius is not a big deal. Yes, you do feel it but there's so many variables involved like alignment setting, control arm bushing stiffness and the actual road surface is a big one. Basically you will get used to it over time.

Yeah. Just going wider up front is felt as well. There definitely is not a one size fits all setup which would be to just leave it stock. But what fun is that!? I’m not dead yet and some of my hair is grey but not all of it!! Lol

Why do I see people running crazy offsets like a 19x10 et22 in the front? That moves your scrub radius by 17mm. That's a lot. I even see +20mm offsets.

Do they just not car and only setup for the looks? (admittedly it does look good).

Most of the time offsets are chosen for the look. In some cases it is for aggressive sizing. A positive scrub radius is a good thing in a sports/ track car providing driver feedback. This is a generalized statement and other factors come into play like the bushings in the front end. How stiff it is. Tires sizing etc. Porsche come with some positive scrub from the factory.
