Default Offset question

I want to run 225/40/18 front & 265/35/18's on the rear. What is the minimum offset that I will need to prevent rubbing? My car is dropped an inch. Will the SSR GT1's work with this setup? If rolling the quarter is required, I'm ok with that.

At an inch, you'll probably get away with +54 front +64 rear or greater. What width are the rims? That would make a difference too.

I believe the GT1's are 18 x 9 rears. Not to concerned about the fronts. I'm sure 225's will work without any problems.

They would require you to roll the fender lip . I would recommend the 255/35R18 better.
