Wheel fitment Question
I'm looking at some 18x8 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear.The wheels im looking at for the front is 18x8 5-114.3 5-4.5" 20 offset but also have 40 offset.The rear is 18x9.5 with the same pattern and offsets. Which offsets would i use for the front and rear i don't want the wheels sticking out of the fenders.What tire size as well can i use for the front and rear i here people say use a 225/40/18 in the front with no issues and 275/35/18 in the rear with no issues can this be correct.Any help will be appreciated.

[edit] Below applies to FD, so probably not applicable... Thanks Rxmfn7.
I'd get the +40 offsets. Less problematic all around, will allow for greater tire widths.
On the fronts, 225/40-18 will work for sure, 245/35-18 is also a possibility but might need a fender roll and would be a better fit on an 8.5" or 9" wheel.
I'd go 265/35-18 in back, or 275/35-18 (might need a roll). 285/35-18 is the widest you could fit on 9.5", would almost certainly need fenders rolled.
255/35-18, or even 245/35-18 or 245/40-18 are also options on the skinnier/stretchier side.

ZDan, judging by the OPs sig I assume he has asking for an FC, not and FD. If that is the case, its been a long time since Ive been an FC guy, but I know you dont have like any inboard clearance. Id think the +20 offsets would work, but Id run a smaller tire on the rear 9.5s, such as a 255/35. You will still need a roll.
