Perfect offset??

I was looking for some rims for my 96 maxima.
These are staggered though. The specs are 16" x 8 in the front with a 38offset.
And 16"x8.5 in the back with a 32 offset.

Will this equal flush as possible with the fender or do I need to do some more research on what the heck offset it should be for a 4 gen?

Any info or constructive flamming is appreciated, as long as their is some information too.

No staggering, look for something else...

The way 4th/5th gens are, you NEED spacers in the rear to have it flush like the front, around 10-15mm depending if you roll your fender (which you need to do for clearence)...

With an 8 inch rim, your looking at around a +25 offset to have it flush in the front, 9 inch rim around +38

9 inch wheels with 35 (38 may be a little better, but I like a little rim poke ) offset are fairly flush with the front, so just use the offset calculator, plugging in different combinations of widths and offsets to get the desired size and keep it flush....thats what I do...

Pretty worthless, didn't give us an offset, either way just roll your rear fenders, problem solved
