Default Work Wheels.. what fits

okay so im getting some new wheels this summer, either Works or Volks..and i have a question. ive been talking to a couple peeps but maybe more of you out there know some info that you can share. heres the plan, im gettin 18inch wheels all around and i want a 7.5 inch wheel in the fron, and a 9.5 inch in the back.. i dont wanna have to roll my fenders either cuz the wheels are costly enough. SO the question is, what offset should i get so that they dont rub, and what size tires..im gettin a 40 for sure, but like what width..235? for the rears, and prolly 225's up front.

18x7.5(F)... what offset im thinking +41 to make them sit kinda flush

18.95(R)... what offset im thinking +40, +38 maybe to give them some room

tires

Front: 225/40/18

Rear: 235/40/18

this isnt so you can make fun of me, or say that i shouldnt do it, its for advice..and i dont like stretched tires at all

Why would you got a full 2" wider in the rear? Why not an 18x8.5?

bigger lip..tC's are pretty bulky in the rear, so this would help out the looks, and they are light weight, so its not rice

i think you might need a wider tire in the rear if you dont like the stretched look

i was researching this last night, im considering doing the same thing......

225/35 18 fronts
255/30-18 rears....or you may go wider like a 265, however you would most likley rub, i have an Htech drop and we test fit some rims and tires today, 245-255 fit fine, anything larger will rub unless you roll your fender, the rear tire will be stretched but no enought to notice.
as for the offset were still trying to figure this one out, fronts are standard 35-38mm offset, rears are unknown at this time.....
