Default Wheel Offset And Tire Size Question!!!!!

Hey guys, I just purchased the Sportmax 502 staggered 20' for my Z, I was wondering what would the ideal tire size and spacer mm be if I wanted a nice aggressive look to the car. The wheel offset is +35, I was thinking of maybe going

285/30/20 rear (15mm spacer) brings it to +20 offset to rear
245/30/20 front (20mm spacer) brings it to +15 offset to front

Any comments feedback or advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Welcome. You never mentioned the wheel width. Do you think that might be a consideration?

Besides why did you by wheels with the wrong offset?

Wheel width is 8.5 front and 10 on rear, i just couldnt find a good price on the offsets i wanted, besides, spacers arent that big of a deal to put on.
