The later model zzw30 had 15" fronts and 16" rears stock.  So it seems staggered widths is legal, but maybe because it came OEM it's ok whereas SW20 with stock 15"s wouldn't be?  
 
I like those R32 rims.

yep those are the wheel setups you want

400 is an ok price for the GTR wheels if they have no rash, as for gtst, thats good for the set

my whole setup including Powedercoating cost me 700ish, I did have to sand some rash out

Well it's 400 for a pair for the GTR's, not a set... so not sure if that's still good?
 
But yup, I like the look of these.

One thing to know is that while the Nissan wheels will fit the wheel studs, the hub center is  larger than the MR2 hub spigot that is 60.1 mm. If the wheel is fitted like this you may have trouble balancing the wheels.
Concentric hub rings are usually used to fix this with many aftermarket wheels, however you wont find off the shelf hub rings to fit to adapt Nissan wheels to the MR2 hub.
Some people get metal hub rings custom made to fit, however another option would be to buy cheap aluminum rings with the right MR2 center and get the center of the wheel machined to take them as shown in the pics.

Actually, you can find aluminium hub rings "off the shelf" that are the right size

When I was at my local tire shop they had a whole box full of spare hub rings of every size. I'm sure they wont be that hard to find...
