Question wheel people i need help w/offset choices 2gen GS

i am looking for some new shoes for my 2nd gen GS and i had some questions about size and offsets and fitment possibilities
1.)18x9.5 with a +24 offset for the front and 18x11 with +19 offset for the rear?

or

2.)18x9 with a +25 offset for the front and 18x10 with a +40 offset for the rear?

If you are looking at bolt-on, neither set will work as they all (to different degrees and depending on drop) stick out beyond the fender. The second set is not even that "balanced" as the front will "stick out" more than the rear.

18x9 +25 in the front is actually aggressively doable.......but u need to trim the front fenders, run stretch tires, u also need to drop the car for about 3 inches.
For the rear, as Neo mentioned....ur front will be really packed but the rear wheels are not going to be as flush with the car as the front setup.

thanks a lot to both of you. i do want the wheels to be as flush as possible, i guess it might be better to run wheels where the widths and offsets are a little closer to each other
