Both photos are the same wheels.

My guess would be the offsets are in the +15 to +25 all around. I run a 20x9 and 20x10.5 with a +23 offset all around and my setup looks almost identical to that build.

Car needs a clean but thought I would share a quick pic! Wheels are from an Infiniti fx45, 20x8 et 40, 10mm spacer in front 20mm in the rear. They weigh only 3 pounds more than oem 18s.
I was looking for a 20 inch wheel that would look oem, and this fits the bill, plus because they are OEM they are JWL certified which would cost me 5x to get in an aftermarket wheel!
I customized the center caps to replace the Infiniti emblems with Lexus emblems pulled from some aftermarket centercaps.
Bc coilovers, this is a daily driver with kid duty, so this is as low as I wanted it to go at this time.

Those wheels look pretty good with that drop.

So im about to put on my new MRR HR3's, waiting for the lug nuts to come in.
I notice that on a lot of staggered set ups the rear bolt face is quite more shallow than the front and it makes the lug tips stick out a lot in the rear but front is sunk in. Is there a way to fix that? Shorter lugs maybe? I looked but only could find open end lugs that were shorter than the standard 1.4 inch long closed end ones. Spacers in the rear? Or its not that bad and i should just live with it?

The only time I can see that happening is if you have thicker spacers in the rear than the front, otherwise the wheel bolts should stick out the same from the wheel.
There is a minimum number of turns as well if you want to be safe, I believe on our cars they recommend that you get at least 7 turns or something like that on the nut until its tight. Fewer than that and the risk is a little greater of the nuts loosening.
Do you have this issue or just wondering incase you might?

this pic for example, thats what my wheels will look like. If you zoom in on front and rear wheels you can see that lug nuts stick out in the rear and they dont in the front. My question is: is it possible, on the staggered set, make the rear lugs not stick out as much? Without sacrificing the safety of course.

Hard to tell from the pics but if they are sticking out a bit more I would say its because of spacers. All things being equal the lugs should not stick out more just because a wheel is staggered.
You can buy short shank lug nuts if it came to it but I would wait to bolt up your wheels and see what you're actually dealing with first!

The depth is different, 1st pic is front wheel, 2nd is rear


its the design of the wheel, different offsets, different depth

They can if one is hi-disk and the other lo-disk. I believe that's for brake clearance. My SSR Viennas were like that. They worked fine on my LS400 but I couldn't get the center caps on the back when installed on my Kia Optima
