Staggered set-up

I am contemplating doing a staggered set-up and wanted to know who has done it to their 5th gen.

I am looking at 19x8.5 front - 19x9.5 rear. Would I have any issues with this set-up? They come in 35 and 40 offset.

Thanks

i have an 01 with g35 replica wheels 18x8 35mm offset all around. be carefull with the offset very important 35mm on rear is perfect and flush with fender all doe on front its boarderline. i have also staggered them 225/45/18 on front and 245/40/18 on rear .i can tell you that it handles great!!! on turns. so think about the offset on the front alot. 35mm or less is the way to go on the front. also you might wanna drop the front end a little. let me know how you do i hope i helped a bit.

I just like the look, but it's not worth it if it rubs or compromises the drivability.

Um... I never said, "I have 18x10.5 +15". I think it's perfect for rears IMO.

I just put some 18x9's on the back and 18x8 in the front. The 245/45/18's are to small for the back, looks like i'll go with a 255...maybe all around.
