A non Nismo with Nismo wheels would look exactly the same as a Nismo with Nismo wheels because the body is exactly the same.
Factory Sport wheels are +30 offset in the rear, factory Nismo wheels are +23 offset in the rear. Meaning that if you remove your 20mm spacers but keep the same 275 tire, your tires will be 13mm further in than currently. However, factory Nismo wheel tires are 285, which means with 285s on Nismo wheels and no spacers, your setup would sit only 8mm further in than currently (12mm further out than Sport wheels & tires from the factory without any spacers).
With my 325s (which you can see on the pictures on the first page of this thread) on Nismo wheels and no spacers, my tires theoretically sit 12mm further out than your current setup which is with 20mm spacers. My tires are flush with the fenders as you can see from the pics.
If you like how your current tires sit relative to your fenders, and you would like to keep the factory 285 Nismo tire size, you would theoretically need to add an 8mm spacer to the Nismo wheels with 285s to keep the same fender to tire position.
Compared to your current Sport wheels, 275 tires, and a 20mm spacer...Nismo wheels would sit like this:
-No spacer and 285s means they sit 08mm further IN.
-No spacer and 295s means they sit 03mm further IN.
-No spacer and 305s means they sit 02mm further OUT.
-No spacer and 315s means they sit 07mm further OUT.
-No spacer and 325s means they sit 12mm further OUT.
All this is theoretical however, because different tire manufacturers make different sizes even though they have the same numbers for size, they are never completely accurate about that and sometimes it's enough to be noticeable even to the eye.
