well, as you may know both front rims options are the same, so no choice there. If you want the rim to be as close to flush as possible get the 10.5" rear rims. The 9.5s and 10.5s you listed are only have a 2mm difference in offset but the 10.5 inch rims is 1 high wider, so 0.5 inches wider on each side which translates to 12.7mm closer to where you want it to be, flush with the fender.
With the 10.5s you can run 295 width tires, with the 9.5s, only 275
