VR TE37SL pressed double black

Hey guys. . I want to get some quick feedback as to my choice of wheel. Just about to drop the hammer on a set of VR wheels.

Front: 18x9 +45
Rear: 18x9.5 +40

The guy wanted me to be absolutely aware that this combo will be a flat face. I actually like the look of a flat face wheel on a stock FD. Maybe the trend is all about being concave?
Was going to rap these in 255/35 and 265/35

Similar to my set up I ran 17x9+47 front and 17x10+47 rear with 255 front and 275 rear. No fitment issues.

Good choice on the 18 more tire choices

Why such a small amount of stagger? Just enough you can't rotate wheels/tires and not really enough to have big impact on chassis balance.

Do you just want to be sure you can fit the fronts with no camber and without rolling the stock lip under?
----------------

The 18x9.5 +40 with 265 will fit front and rear.

Might have to put some camber up front to avoid snagging the stock unrolled lip or could roll the lip under and no camber.

The available 18x10 +40 with 265 would fit the same front and rear as the 18x9.5 +40 with 265 and provide a little sharper handling (I don't know what the face stye/concavity is).

Rear: 18x10 +20 (255/35 P-Zero)

Flat face looks dated for some reason.
