Want these wheels

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I am very interested in the XXR 521's. I am dropped on Skunk 2 lowering springs and I was wanting to get 18x8.5 in the front and 18x10 in the rear. What offset do I need to run with these. I want to look aggressive, but not crazy aggressive. +43-45? I really don't know a whole lot about wheel offsets so some help would be greatly appreciated. Currently I have stock black AP1 wheels with a 25mm spacer in the rear and a 15mm spacer in the front and I really like the way they fit. So, I'm looking for an offset to match this as close as possible. Thanks!
I am not a big fan of staggered diameter, but the closest to your current setup would be 17 x 7" +38 front and then run the 18 x 8.5" +35 in the rear.

What about 18x8.5 front and rear? Would that be okay?
With an 18x8.5 and 18x10 what offsets would I need to achieve my goals?

To have the same outside fender clearance you now have with spacers, your setup would need to be 8.5" +65 and 10" +72. This is a tool to help you calculate:

17s if you want performance and drivability over looks. 18s if you're going to slam the car with GOOD fitment, and don't mind driving slow to avoid damaging the car.
