How about this setup:
Volk GTUs and BFG KDW2's
fr 18X9 +35 255/35/18
rr 18X10 +40 285/30/18
Stance coilovers
Daizen camber correction bushings
I know that I will have to roll the fenders but do not want to have them pulled or shaved. Would it be possible to get away with lower offsets or is this setup already pushing it with the afformentioned tire sizes?

Would a +30 offset high-pad 18X9 front wheel clear big brakes? I know the wheel I am interested in with a +38 offset clears big brakes without problems. By the way thank you to everyone who has responded to my previous posts.

I highly doubt you will squeeze a 275 inside the stock fender, even a rolled one with a +18 offset...unless you run Dunlop Direzzas with mad camber.
On a +18 offset, you are going to have to stretch the tire to make it fit. A 255 or 265 would still fit within factory spec. The 255 is most assured of fitting, regardless of brand. Even a 265 may require a sloped sidewall with such an aggressive offset.
Up front, a 245 would be close, but probably accomplishable on a +20. A 235 would most certainly clear.
As far as equaling the stetch, neither a 275 on a 10" nor a 245 on a 9" is really considered a stretch, although I do know what you mean. I have had a 245 on a 9" and the tire looked faintly sloped, almost flush. I had a 275 on a 9.5" and it looked very flush, not sloped in the least.
Regardless, with a +18 offset in the rear on a 10", you will need to go narrower than a 275 to get inside the fender.
