The only reason why the rears normally have more dish is because they can take a wider and lower offset wheel compared to the front. For a wheel that is designed to have dish, you'll have more dish with more width and a lower offset.

Front's also normally have less dish because the face type of the wheels are made to clear larger calipers.

Those wheels sounds like they've come from tempetyres or something like that. The widths are too small/thin for that wheel diameter in my opinion.

You'll probably never see a car with more dish up front than the rears unless he purposely did that to prove me wrong. There's always more dish at the rear compared to front because the rears can run wider and lower offset wheels. Front's are usually thinner with a higher offset and often have a different face to clear larger brake calipers. This face minimizes the amount of dish the wheel has.

I'm sure there was no need for me to explain that, but for those that didn't know...

I have no idea how my situation will turn out... I have a R34 GTT 2 door and I'm getting Racing Hart CXR's 19x8.5 +21 on the front and 19x9.5 +35 for the rears. The reason my offset for my front is +21 is because I bought some aftermarket front vented fenders that are 20mm wider than stock. I hope it still turns out lookin good... 15mm should be that big a difference... right?
