Default wheel fitment with widebody

hey everyone, I recently bought a wide body kit for my 2003 350z, i will have a 90mm fender flare in the rear, and a 50mm fender flare in the front. I was wondering what offset I would need to get a clean flush look that is aggressive, but when I lower the car, because I am on bags, I want the tires to tuck nicely in the fenders I know that I want the rim to be 18" in diameter, but I am open to different widths for the front and back. Thank you for your time.

You should ask the guys selling you the exhaust flamethrower kit for recommendations for the car you don't even own.

i say with that kit i usually see people run 17x7.5 -10 offset all around. Its usually recommended but i've seen some do different set ups f/r. Usually its 16x7.0 -5 offset front and 17x7.5 -10 rear with a 75mm wheel spacer. u can use 3x 25mm wheel spacer and make it work.

You do realize that some here will read that as "Well, it was on my350Z so it must be the gospel."
