LMGT4 Rim Offset

Want to know how much/if it would poke even with a light fender roll. Not looking to run stretched tires. Let's put it this way, I'm a noob when it comes to rims.

Nismo LMGT4
19x8.5 +25 All around
245/35/19

or

19x8.5 +25 front
245/35/19
19X9.5 +30 rear
265/35/19

+1 Non staggered. For FWD there is really no point, except for looks I guess. If you had a RWD car then yes staggered set up it ideal to lay down the power at the rear, and to have a quicker turn in for the fronts. But then you can't rotate the tires and you always end up with uneven wear.

Sorry and for you original question... As I am to assume that your car is slammed as in the pic running 245's at +25 will need a slight fender roll and should be flush to slight poke depending on your suspension setup.

I wasn't a fan of the staggered setup to begin with. It had more to do with fitment without needing to run a spacer in the back.

Assuming the front is of most concern when you talk about all same size flush/slight poke. Rear will need a spacer to even it with the fronts.
And yes, I know I'd have to raise the car a tid bit.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, those look like unilug. Wasnt aware Rays did the Nismo rim in unilug.
In any case, my point is that I ran into an issue when considering running spacers on a unilug rim. Because there was no opening/gap between the lug openings on the back side of the rim, I couldn't run a 5-15mm spacer because the lug nuts securing the spacer protruded....so the extra lug nut sticking out needed a place to go. On unilug, the space between lugnut holes is occupied by another hole.

I'd guess you'd have to run the spacer setup with the spacer seperate from the extended studs?

Yeah normal spacers with extended studs wouldn't be a problem
