What offset will the fronts be?

Most likely, you'll rub and catch the fender lip on driveways/speedbumps.

You'll most likely need to have the front fenders rolled to eliminate any rubbing (which you'll probably only notice on bumps or driveway humps). Honestly, rolling the fenders is pretty much a must with wider front wheels/tires and a lowered car.

BTW, that's 255's on the front with Tein S-Tech springs. Yes, fenders are rolled.
