Default help with is350 offsets

Don't tell me to post this in tires/wheel section because there's no feedback and no one knows better offsets then members in the 2is.

So i have a is350 on eibach 250 springs. I'm getting a set of AME fs-01 but i have no clue about offsets. I got the offset calculator and played around with it, but i'm not sure if the offsets i want will rub. These are the 2 choices

18x9 +25 18x10 +25 OR 18x8.5 +48 18x9 +31

With the top 2 offsets, how big of tires can i squeeze in without rubbing.

I guess the rear i'd want to get as wide as possible with rubbing on bumps.

And the front i still want to have a nice turn ratio.

Thanks i advance.

The first 2 you listed will definitely rub. The second 2 you listed should not rub. but the front +48 will probably be a little too sunken.

What's R disk? I want the big tires in the rear. Front tires can be the smallest that will fit on the rim.

If it's sunken i guess i can put it out with some spacers.
