Rear Sport Rims on Front - Will it work?

I was thinking of getting rear sport rays and putting them in the front. would this work and would it be more flush?

I believe the wheels will stick out 30 mm more. Which means the wheels will be beyond flush.

19x10 +30

on the fender side, it should be close to a 9.5 +22mm fitment, which is popular on here. There will of course be less clearance on the inside than that wheel, but I think it will still work.

You might be ok. I am not worried about the outside. More the inside would be the problem if any.

its a 10mm bolt on a spacer. very easy to remove

btw if you look at the limited run of the Volk G12 Nissan fitment, they list a 20x10 +30, and 20x11 +15

based on the stock specs given earlier, inner clearance should be fine. you're gaining 4mm of inner clearance.

Why are you planning to do this ?

Why not just get a spacer?
