Well, the front and rear wheels have same off set, but the trick is on different center pieces to fake the "stagger" and "deeper lip" look at back. (thanks to James @ Tanabe).

It is a custom setup up and this a business mai-do back to Tanabe.

Well, that's interesting. But, I don't understand why you would want to "fake the stagger" and have your wheels look deeper in the back when you could have taken advantage of the staggered look you were going for and actually staggered the offsets. Just about every set-up Vitz I see in Japan staggers offsets by 5 to 10mm's.

BTW, what offset did you decide on when you had the wheels built?

Stagger set up proly won't help anything to this car, and fake stagger is a fashion in Japan!
True, plus me and Tanabe guys just want to have more fun this car. The goal is making it a fashion toy on street and also allow tire rotation possible as a daily drive car.

So here is the recipe:
16x7J+39 on front and rear, with Std & Shallow faces for front and rear.
205/50/16 Bridgestone RE750 87W 340AA
On Tein Coilover - Basic
*The tire size will not work if spring-lowered!*

The front tires are flushed with front fender (maybe 1+mm outside). Rear upper portion of fedner has 1 finger gap with the tire because of the round tire sholder, but wheel lip-flang is acutally flush with the fender. Bottom portion of rear tires stick out 15mm off o/e mud guards.

I was planning to insert 10mm spacers at back but since the rear bottom tire sticks out 15mm off the mud guard edge... no_go on this.

Hope this info help some to get nice JDM wheels.
