rear offset is fine.. a little bit more aggressive than the lmgt4's actually.. front would need 20mm spacers..
lmgt4 in 350z spec are 19x8.5 +25 and 19x9.5 +30

So I'm dropped on Eibach Sportlines w/ 18x9.5 +30 all around. Running 275/35/18 all around too. Trying to figure what size spacers I need to run to be flush and I'm willing to roll my fenders. From what I've seen I can run a 20-25MM in the rear, but there's really been nothing I can go on as far as the fronts go. Anyone able to chime in with some knowledge before I start ordering some and test fitting?

Waizzz, he has the 9.5's in the front too so I'm pretty sure he will need a different sized spacer. It's simple math though...
Let's see... 8.5" width with +25mm offset vs. a 9.5" width with +30mm offset. 1" is roughly 25mm so 1/2" difference on the outside of the wheel pushes it about 13mm farther out than the 8.5, if they had the same offset. But the 8.5 has a 5mm offset difference, bringing it back in 5mm.
So overall you're looking at the 9.5" +30 wheel sitting about 8mm closer to the fender than a 8.5" +25 wheel.
In that case I suggest a ~10mm spacer for the front.. but that will cause issues for you because it's tough to get spacers in that size that are hub-centric, if that matters to you.
I just test-fitted my 20mm spacers on one side today and decided that I'm probably going to go with 20mm rear and 15mm front. It's not too aggressive but IMO my car isn't low enough for very aggressive final offsets (Eibach Pro-Kit). I will get some pics up later! I definitely want Sportline's =P

Ok first are before pics. Note that I only own one pair of 20 mm spacers for now so I just put them on one side to get pics.
And now for after pics. In person I thought the front looked too aggressive with 20 mm spacers at my ride height (dang I want lower springs! lol).. but now looking at the pics I'm starting to lean towards putting the 20 mm up front and maybe getting 25 mm for the rear. Can't decide...
So what do you guys think? For now I just have both of the 20 mm spacers installed in the rear... no pics yet though.
I dunno, maybe 20 mm all around is the way to go. But really, lowering the car more is the way to go! =/ There is just too much wheel gap back there.
Oh and I definitely rub but only on the biggest of bumps/dips. I cringe though fearing I'm cutting into my tires. Need to get my rear fenders rolled ASAP! Hrmm, how am I going to go about doing that?...
P.S. Yep looks like it's almost time for new rear tires. =P
P.S.S. Damn gas is expensive.
