Default Anyone running a square setup with staggered tires?

I've search but nothing came up so go easy on me A friend of mine is selling his XXR 521's from his 350z specs are 20x10.5 +30 with 245/35 f and 275/30 r and i'm kinda interested on this set up. My question is are the front wheels will rub when you turn the steering full locks? Pics, suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm sure that front is going to have issues. I currently have a 20x8.5 +25 with a 225/35 and I rub on big bumps. Granted, I never really got around to rolling the fronts, but you'd be running a 20mm wider tire AND your wheel would be 20mm closer to the outer fender. The rears on the other hand is do-able. I'm running a 20x10.5, +25 with the same tire size (275/30). My rears are pulled though, but I can clear the rear quarter panels. I'm on Tein Stech's with Sage front and rear RCA's, BTW.

Well i done some research on 18's and saw some pics on one of the member's ride here and went ahead to order the XXR 521's sizes 18x8.5 +30 f and 18x10 +25 r but i'm not too convinced about the fronts on the aggressivenes so i'm still debating once again if i should change the order to a square set up and runs staggered tires. Any advice from CL or maybe pics or ideas of how much 18x10 +25 would stick out in the fronts? Im planning to run 235/40 f and 255/40 r if i decided to take that route. Thanks

dont decline the offer if you like em and the price is right, get em, just get good stretch
tire for the rear and the 225/35 for the fronts,
unless you just planned on mounting them and rolling ? than NO it wont happen,
btw whats a SQUARE set up?

Yea the shop offered me $470 out the door for 18x10 +25 all around, so i told the guy let me see if the fronts won't give me any issues and get back to you since i planned to mount 40 series thick tires all around due to potholes all over my street and my vehicle is a daily driver. I had all my fronts & rears rolled, i don't know if that's enough though. What do you suggest?
