I would probably do +30(f) and +10(r) so it leaves you a little room for dips and hard corners and wider tires. If you want flush then +25(f) and +5(r) would probably get your wheels flush but could leave a possibility of tires rubbing fender depending on tire sizes.

Thanks! I might end up 285 or 275...i'm still debating...Forgestar could get the me proper offset if I go with them, but it'll be a 18x10" instead of 18x10.5" and i won't be able to rotate.

Why wouldn't you be able to rotate? do 18x10+30 square set up and then run a 20mm spacer in the rear to flush it up equally. Then you can still rotate and what not. That's what my future plans are. I might have to sell my WEDs as the offsets offered just won't work for a square setup......

Oh I meant if I wanted to go without spacers, that's the only reason I would go down in width for the rim size aside from more brand/style selections; at 18x10 Forgestar I could get the proper offset I need without the risk of using spacers at the cost of no rotation.

What is your current setup for the Weds?

Honestly, as long as the spacers are installed correctly and torqued down properly, I don't see an issue.

My current set up is 18X9.5 + 25 up front and 18x10.5 +7 in the rear. Not sure how I feel about running a square setup on 18X9.5's. For these specific wheels they come in a +35 offset which means I'd need a 25mm or 30mm spacer to flush up the rears. I'm already running a 10 on front and a 5 on the rear.
