Default Major wreck, need Offset help ASAP

Was in a crash that should have totalled my '08 Z. Took it back to Nissan to be repaired. I had 19" ADR Sterlings on my car. The place I bought them from did not give rim specifics on my receipt other than "19" ADR Sterling (Staggered Fitment). I know they were 8.5" front and 9.5" front. Don't know the offsets. Well, in my wreck all four rims were destroyed. Nissan has found new ADR Sterling rims to replace my destroyed rims, but the two 9.5" for the rear are "Japanese" version and the two 8.5" front rims are "European" versions. The Nissan Shop Foreman can't tell me what the difference is. I assume the two versions are referring to different offsets. Anyone have any idea what the differing offsets are on these two versions? Will I see a problem with an '08 Base Coupe running differing offset "styles" front and back? What offset is correct for a 19" front rim on a 08 Base Coupe running 235-35's? Thanks.

Different offsets in the front and rear is no problem. I suppose that in an extreme case, you could be tracking wider in front than rear. This is not a recommend set-up for the 350Z.

You mention offset and tire width. There is no relationship.

If they say Japanese fitment and Euro fitment, that's most likely referring to the bolt pattern of the wheels. Most Japanese cars are 5x114.3 while Euro's are 5x120 or 112 i think.
