FN01R-C Offsets

FN01R-C Offsets
So I bought a set of +35 5Zigen FN01R-C's for auto-x/track wheels. The offsets sounded high and I have a friend with a set of the exact same wheels in +15 offset. Well, I put a tire on mine and a tire on his and we test fit last night.
It seemed like the +15 fit better on the rear of my Z and his 240sx and the +35 fit on the front of our cars great. Does that sound about right? Should I trade 2 wheels with him and stick with the +15 in the rear? It seems like it fits more flush with the fender than the +35 would.
Also wondering if with the +35F and +15R I will be able to fit a 265/45/17 on the front and a 275/45/17 on the rear. I'll have pics of how the wheels look on my Z tonight and I'll post them up. Thanks in advance for the help, these offsets are driving me nuts.

Consider the position of the wheel-tire when racing. In the corners you are going to push the tops of the inside and outside tires in the opposite direction. Its possible to lift the tire completely off the ground and leave it hanging for a second.
Which offset offers the best clearance in these situations?

I assume you are talking about 9" wide wheels. I run the +35 set up all around with 275/40/17's. No rubbing although the rear certainly does look tucked in. +15 in the rear should work, but I would rather sacrafice some looks for wheels that can be rotated front/rear, especially since it's just for track use.

When i bought my wheels i had at get a 28 offset in the rear and a 42 in the front. I know that since i put the wheels on the handling is all off. The front end feels wishy washy while the back end feels really stable. I have ordered a set of 15 mm spacers to help with the problem (hopefully)

If it were me, I would not run that much of an offset stagger front to rear

It's not a number they "invented for fun".
Other offset value will also work.

As a performance point of reference I would rather take the nismo LMGT4 sizes for 350z (+25 front and +30 rear).

This is my FN-01RC, 17x10 +35mm with Toyo RA1 275/40R17
+25mm offset will bring the rear tires 10mm closer to the fender.
