Offset for 18x9.5s - 38 or 45?
Which would you chose, assuming stock fenders, and why? I am thinking of running 265s all around.
I can roll the fenders, but ideally I need the wheels to not protrude for legal reasons.

you're definitely good with +45. I wanna say +38 but it'll be close on those fast sweepers.
17x10 +45 squared with 40-255 Azenis on my FD. I had to roll the fronts a bit but there was no rub at all unless I was pushing it on the track. The roll took care of that..

18X10 38 is an option as well, and would let me use bigger tires in the future, but would almost certainly rub or stick out with stock fenders.

I vote for +38. If you need to roll the fenders up front then so be it. Still much better than the old sunken battleship look
I had 9.5's with +42 in the back (my fronts were 8.5's) and although the actual fitment was on point. I never really cared for the look

we might keep in mind that in Japan the inspection actually checks that the wheel is under the fender, so the 45 with a spacer might be better
