Default Ok whats the best Offest for a 18X10.5 to fit right?

I dont want to bang up my fenderwell nor do I wanna roll my lip so I'm asking what offset will work using a 18X10.5 wheel with a 295/35/18 on it?
Next question will the 18X10.5 and 17X9.5 work without messing up my ABS? I will have 275/40/17's on the front.
Last question where the hell can I find a set of chrome Z06 in the 18X10.5's

I have the OEM Zo6 rims (18x10.5)on the back of a t-top ss and all we needed to do is bang a little on the inside fender-well. It has a eibach prokit and fits great no other suspension mods. Dont know if the vert is different.

Will 18x10.5 in the back with a 58mm offset with 305's and 17x9.5 in the front with a 54mm offset with 275's fit good? Will I get any rubbing, or ABS problems? scroll down about half way and you'll see the 18x10.5 in chrome

I have 38 mm offset FIKSE's The car is lowered and the passenger side tire does contact the fender lip. Best guess to fine a happy medium, 44 mm IMHO.
