STR 607 Offset question G35 Coupe

Hello all, This is my first post, I apologize now if I've made a mistake posting in the wrong section. However, after searching for a very long time about "flushed" offsets, i have a few questions.
So, I have decided on a particular rim which is the STR 607 and the size I want is 20x9 (front) and 20x10.5 (rear).
Now, on this rim the offset that i was told for the "flushed" look is +30 (fronts) & +35 (rear).

Can anyone give their knowledge on whether this would be the flushed look.
Car is not lowered and i know their would be a gap but that is the least of my concern because of funds.
The offsets however that are available for this particular rim is
STR 607 20X10.5 5X114.3 +40 SILVER (rear)

STR 607 20x9 5X114.3 +35 SILVER (Front)

If someone can give their insight about this that would be awesome before i make the purchase.

**i know their vossen knockoffs**

Weird to see people wanting to buy replicas of replicas.

If you want the cheapest possible cast wheels you can find, why not just go right to the source? China.

Go on Alibaba and buy the exact same crap wheels for $60 each (Yes that is about what the STR wheels are worth)

Before you all knock me on this being a replica and whatnot, it's straying from the initial post and point. I asked for the opinion on the rims offset for it being a flushed look and also what offset I should in fact be looking in this rim.
Why bash me on choosing this rim and it being a replica of an replica?
Why not give a straight forward answer or give a educated opinion?

My educated opinion is that those wheels, just like all the other replicas, are cheap chinese garbage. It is beyond stupid to risk your safety with garbage cast wheels, just to try to look cooler. Wheels are not just for looks, they are one of the most important safety features on a car.

Look in the marketplace for a used quality forged set of wheels.

Jersey already gave you the straight forward answer....TOO HIGH by like 20mm
You also asked for insight on this, they are just giving their .02 coming from experience working on the vehicle...how you receive it is on you.

Op we're not bashing you..
If anything we're bashing the wheel and its poor design.
You mentioned flush. What is flush to you? Lip to fender? Do you want to stretch tires? Are you a camber queen? Couple variables play into this

Also
What's your budget? I bet I can find you an authentic, quality wheel pretty close to that figure.

Your right, Jersey did give an answer of saying "too high btw" lol what does that even mean?
A preferred number would be ideal, but i appreciate you giving me some type of number.
I asked for the insight of the offset I should be looking for, in this particular rim. I've seen other G35 coupes have the exact same rim. I can't justify if spacers are being used, the offset, fender rolled, etc.

Flush to me is Lip to Fender, No stretch tires, no camber.
Budget $1400 w/tires and 5 spoke. Rims i did look at were Rohana RC22, Stance SC5, etc.

As stated earlier, the STR 607 i did see on couple other G35 coupes, now to question their offset and the spacers being used, that i do not know.

I'm not cambering, not rolling fenders, lowering in the future (maybe)
