I would run 18x10 +40 front and rear. Run 255/35/18 tires front and rear.
Now there are some wider tires in 255/35/18 tires....they are not all created equal. Some tires have super wide tread widths.
for example.
AD08 in a 255/35/18 tire has a tread width of 9.9 inches. This would fit perfect on your 10" wide wheel. height is 25" almost stock....and the front will look killer in terms of flushness.
The rear will be fine with a +40 offset and 255/35/18 tires. If you want a more flush look with rolled fenders, I recommend getting a small spacer if you want. This way you can still rotate tires.
This set up provides the best of all worlds....the best handling with a slightly stretched tire, great looks, and the ability to rotate your tires for longest tread life.
AD08 in 255/35/18 is 9.9 inches wide for tread width. Rolling fenders will be required with this set up for the front definitely and possibly for the rear.
RE-11 in 265/35/18 is 9.6 inches wide for tread width.
R-s3 in 255/35/18 is 9.6 inches wide, its 265/35/18 width is only 9.5 inches wide? weird ain't it.
Anyway conclusion. 255/35/18 all around on 18x10 +40 wheels.

It doesn't work for performance. He has to stretch enimic tires on those rims to make it work. I am not a fan of hellaflush.

Without atleast a 10-15mm spacer in the front I think they will look too mis matched. The rears will fit nice and flush with 265's but the fronts wont look good, also if the SL's are anything like other TE's +45 offset is probably going to have a flat face profile and look like ****.

The TE37SL black edition.

I think you can find it for the pressed graphite color as well.

Gene, if you want to stick with a staggered sizing, I found that the following worked well on my FD:
18x9.5 +38 front with 255/35
18x10 +32 rear with 265/35
This is moderately rolled fenders.
It could have been pushed another 5-6mm in the rear safely, probably with the fronts as well but that's always a bit dicey if going over bumps or up a driveway with the front wheel cocked to one side.
Some pics of the fitment I'm speaking of can be seen here:

I would get the 18x10 +40MM all around with some good 255/35/18 tires.

I've seen a FD with 18x10 +20 offset te37sl's all around on a stock body and to me it looked to sit very wide. Looked super JDM if thats what you want. A little too wide for my taste on a stock body. The concavity of the wheel is pretty crazy looking though, would be great for a widebody. Isn't the point of getting the SL's because they're lighter? If it were me I'd go with 17's to shave more weight but from the chart i'd say 18x8.5 +35 and 18x9.5 +35/+22 staggered. for a square set up 18x9.5 +35/+22.
