Just for kicks, I swapped the fronts with the rears, and the 10" up front with 255 fits with no problems.

So for anyone looking for that concave look all around, 17x10 +35 fits with no issues, and you could go 255 up front and wider in the rear.

strike up the paean
you are very wrrong on that fact, on these particular wheels they do not use the thickness of the hub to determine offset the use the spoke itself that is why you end up with the concave face like that, its just the same as having two two piece wheels with different offsets , lower offset creates more lip
9.5 and 10 are concave face, regardless of offset.

Just about any wheel will "fit" while the car is parked in the driveway.

I drove around for a good while with my front and rear wheels swapped. Lock to lock it clears with room to spare. I did some spirited driving and ripped some tight corners trying to get it to rub, but I never could get it to. My driveway is pretty steep and on a hill and I have to angle a lot just to not scrape the front lip.
I'm on Tein S-techs and stock R1 struts.

might as well post here too, heres my 17x10s up front. only issue i had was rubbing the fender lining which i removed. im in the process of going lower with new coilovers but i need to roll my fenders a lot more before i drive with it alll the way down. i am going to use this size on all corners.
dont quote me on this but i think all the 10s and 9.5s have the same concave regardless off offset. didnt get a good look but a local guy has 17x10+35s on a 240 and it looked just as good minus the weak offset for that particular car. i have the +12s thats what im comparing it to.

Do you have 18x9.5 or 17x10? That's pretty crazy with +12s all around, now I'm jealous and need lower offsets lol. I see you're on the same tires I am, Federal 595, I got mine for like $60 a piece!
Do you have any more pix? I'll post some pix up tonight if I can get a camera.

me too these tires a great. and unlike every other tire near that price these are really freaking good tires.
the reason mine work on here i only have 235s on. no fender liners. slight roll but im going to roll it more and pull them still. its not going to be so easy depending on what your tire sizes you want to use. if you want a full size tire dont even think about a really low offset.

Alright, I've been looking wheels for a while also, and would like an opinion. I know the 18x9.5 with a +45 offset will fit the rears no problem with 265/35-18 wrapped around those wheels. My question is can I run that all around? I know 265 is pretty wide, and I'll probably have to roll the fender, but will I have to roll by a lot? Am I hurting performance doing this? I heard of guys running 18x10 with 285/30-18 all around and was wondering if the set up I'm thinking of is too much. I know 17x9 with 255/40-17 will work all around, but I want that concave look, but at the same time I'm worried about function as much as form. If the fender has to be pulled too much, how will the feed front fender work with it?
