I'm looking at 18" SSR GTV02s and I've settled on 9.5" for the front and 10.5" in for the rear. I made notes while reading through this thread, as well as others, and I think I should go with a 35mm offset in the front (22mm is also an option) and a 15mm offset in the rear. I am on Swift springs, with SPL rear camber arms and lock out bolts. I would like to be near flush. No poke at all. Will these offsets get me what I'm looking for?

Also, regarding tires, I'm considering 245/45 in the front and 275/40 in the rear, as these sizes would keep the overall diameter close to stock, as well as the sidewall height. I'd like to go wider, especially in the rear, but then it just starts throwing things out of whack. Thoughts?

All that noted, I really appreciate anyone sharing their advice and feedback. I'd like to go ahead and make my purchase soon.
My 18" wheel set up is:
Enkei RPF1
Front: 18x10 +38(15mm spacer making it +23) wrapped in a (275/40/18)
Rear: 18x10.5 +15 wrapped in a (315/35/18)

My front looks perfect, it's better than my rear because the rims face is more flush with the fender. SO, you can run as low as a 15mm spacer but you will forsure need a smaller tire than what I use because my 315 is flush. 285/40/18 out back is what I would go with and up front a 22 ofsset 255/45. Than just use spacers and camber to touch up the gaps.
