Default Ideal Offsets: 18x9/18x10

Im looking for a flush stance with some custom wheels Ill be ordering. Up front will be 18x9 with a 275/35/18 and out back will be an 18x10 with a 295/35/18. I have a good idea and didnt bother searching for this specific question, just wanting some wheel gurus to chime in. I know up front flush is around +38-40 but Im not really sure out back. Thanks in advance guys.

My new Boyd Smoothie 3's(similar to TTII's) are 18x9 w/38mm and 18x10 w/44mm and in my opinion they fit perfect...but I did choose the offset so I might be biased.

Here's my photobucket album http://s1084.photobucket.com/albums/j411/natemay/Autos/

The older photos are of my AR rebels 18x9 w/25mm and 18x10 w/41mm offsets.
The 25mm offset was on the very extreme end of the offset range. The edge of the tire was basically flush with the top edge of the front fender. The rears fit good pretty good though. They only rubbed the fender lip twice after I was lowered.

I went with more offset on the Boyd wheels cause I wanted the front to rest just a little bit farther in and the rear a little farther in to hopefully eliminate and need to roll the fenders. So far I haven't been able to drive the car much to determine if the rear fenders will need to be rolled. If they do it should be much at all.

Btw I'm running BFG KDW 2's, 275/35/18 & 295/35/18.

Those are the same tires Ill be buying and I like the 38mm up front, I always read that fit perfectly. I was thinking mid 40s for the rear as well. Thanks I appreciate it.

Just curious to know - I'm in the market too, and am looking for the exact same as you. What brand/ style wheels were you thinking about getting?

1 or 2 piece custom wheels. With most forged wheels when you get into half inch incriments you have to step up to a 3 piece wheel. 2 piece are much cheaper and 18x10 is perfect for me since I plan on running a 295/35/18 out back. Style will either be a mesh wheel or split 5 spoke. I was set on CCWs but True Forged has very similiar wheels at a more affordable price.
