fittment question for 4th gen: 18x9.5 et +25?

Okay so I originally posted this in the wheels and tire ssection but I didnt get any help so I'm hoping this'll work...

So I'm considering getting some new wheels for my 4th gen since I finally got my d2 coilovers.. I was looking to go staggered amd get some kinda flush not the hella flush with the super poke.. Just somethin that sits clean.. I already know I will be getting my fenders rolled in the rear so my question is will this fitment fit and if so would it look good and not comprimise so much on performance?:
fronts: 18x8.5 et +30
rears: 18x9.5 et +25

Again I'm chasing a clean flush look while avoiding spacers.. Ive seen a few 4th gens roll on the 370z wheels and I know their rears sit at 18x9.5 et +15 iirc. But just to be on the safe side I figured I'd ask my fellow orgers. I plan to be just as low or close to how I was in my sig when I was on ksports, just to give you an idea... Thanks in advance

You should not have any big issues especially with a fender roll.

why are you trying to avoid using spacers?

Why not? When starting from scratch, it's best to do as much research as possible, crunch some numbers, and avoid spacers if possible.

front will be nice and flush, and will still require a roll.
Rears should be pretty close as well, better to post this in the wheels/tires section.
Why staggered? To me, not worth the ability to rotate tires just to avoid spacers.

Get the fitment you want when you have control over it.

i think those offsets are good. but remember our 4th gens have a 10mm difference from the rear. for example, my current wheel setup 18x9.5 front and back with +35 offset. my rear wheel sits in 10mm more than the front so i would either need a 10mm spacer to match the front or get a lower offset like +25 but that option is not available in my wheel style. Also it depends on the design of the rim. hope that helps.

thanks everybody! So I think I'm goin to go this route then... now Im just tryin to decide what tire size im goin with... I know for sure Im not doing the stretch tire thing. Im trying to go with the proper fitted tire.. im considering 235/40 in the front and 245/40 in the rear.. but still researching what will work

GGENIUS:
I just want to avoid any unnecessary stress to the hub... and dont know much about spacers anyway lol.

Flava:
I dont know bro i guess its just that look Im chasin. I know staggard wheels on a fwd is kinda useless but I think it looks sick on maximas.. That 4th gen flush thread has inspired me lol.

J2FRESH:
Thank you sir! yes I got that now I guess my only doubt was whether or not that rear wheel would work.. but preiate the break down

If done right, staggered wheels look great!

+25 is perfect, i have seen it, no poke just flush. You will have to roll and do a stretch, a 245 on the 9.5 will fit with out issue.
