Default New Wheel Setup...Pls Help

Getting pretty tired of reading about wheel size and offset this last week.
Threads can be hard to pin-point the info I need. Also, most info is on 19" setup.

Hoping someone can please help clear this up for me...

Looking to purchase 18 x 8" +35 offset (front) and 18 x 9.5" +38 offset (rear)

Will these fit? It's the offset I'm concerned with. (maybe too staggered and look funky too)
Ideally, I want the wheels as wide as possible without rubbing, but I can add spacers later if needed.
I have RSR down sus in my office going on the car soon.

I know the tires will fit - keeping what I have 225 and 255
Hate to ask there are SO many discussions I just have not confirmed much on the 18" setups.
Thanks!

Yes thank you, 225 front and 255 rear.
I must have edited to include that while you replied.

Offset was my concern, particularly on the rear.

Offset will be fine front and rear.
The 255 will fit the rear rim, but you'd be better off with a 265...it will give you more sidewall, thus a nicer ride. The 255 will be stretched just a tad.

Good thought thanks. That's part of the reason I want to keep with 18"...more side wall. 255 will technically fit on a 10" rim if needed but I hadn't yet consider in impact of stretching over a 9.5".

I may just go with stock widths. Handle/look awesome being wider but slower straights to some extent.
