Default rear offset for 10's

I'm thinking of getting some smoothie II's. I want 17x8 with a 245 in the front and 17x10 with a 315 in the rear. My car is not lowered, what offset shoudl I get so the rear wheels are out as far as possible without interfering with the fender? Also what offset for the front would be best to match the rear?

thanks

I believe that the offset on mine are 41P for the fronts and 38P for the rear. Check with DTD on the proper offsets....Here is a pic....BTW they are nice rims..

They look really good. What size tire are you running in the rear?

Do you think that 315s will have enough clearance? I know this is asked alot but the more opinions the better. I was thinking of getting the summitomo htrz's, they are only 110 each right now on tirerack.

The only 315 that I would put on would be Nitto....they are made smaller so that is why I say this....
