Square Set Up with Different Offsets Front and Rear?
 
Looking at the sticky wheel fitment guide, you need about 10mm more 'poke' in the rear than the front with a square set up to have a perfectly flush fit at both ends of the car. Does anyone ever run a square set up with different offsets front and rear to achieve this? Obviously, this isn't very practical because it prevents rotating the tires without pulling them off of the wheels and remounting them, but how else can you achieve a perfectly flush fit at both ends of the car?

In my case, I run a square set up with the same offset front and rear and have just lived with the rear wheels being tucked in further than I would have like - I'm just wondering if anyone has done what I'm asking in the pursuit of perfection?

There's no reason you couldn't do it. Especially with Enkei, since they tend to come in +45 and +35 offsets for the same wheel. It does limit your wheel choices though.

Same spec wheels and just get extended studs and slap spacers on the rear. Still able rotate while getting the look you want.
