What size wheels and offsets for 40mm and 50mm over fenders

I bought a full bn kit and 40mm front and 50mm rear over fenders just trying to figure out what size wheels to get now and what offsetsWas looking at some 18x9.5 +15 wheels for the front and 18x10.5 +22 or +15 wheels not sure how they would fit or how much spacer I would need to get fitment like his car? Or should I try to find lower offset wheels?

I’m running shine auto front fenders (think 25mm), forget what brand +30mm rears but I bowed the 30mm rears to ~45-50mm.

Fronts: 18x10.5-1 (I need to verify front offset but I know offset is negative.)
rears: 18x11.5+7

of course it matters what style you’re going for.

front wheels have ~5mm clearance to psm coilovers springs. Barely clears the chassis with full lock as it’s a drift car, modified knuckles, rack spacers, no front sway bar.
Coilovers are psm, the stiffer dampeners with swift 8kg front/6kg rear.

ran MB weapons wheels a long time ago, 17x9 or 9.5+15whatever the widest available as shown in the last image. Stock fenders.

highly recommend using an online tire stretch calculator to determine the exact offset you’ll need. Can also measure from your wheel to the fender.
