Default offsets on gs400? Help!

Anyone know if I will have any rubbing issues with 18x9.5 with a +40 offset for the rear and a 18x7.5 with a +38 offset in the front? I dont want to do any fender mods to get these to fit. I dont know what works and what doesnt. Any help would be greatly appreciated it. I am going to be dropping my car at the same time if that is a factor. Thanks in advance guys.

my car is a 99 gs4, btw

I can also get 18x8.5s with the same 38 offset for the front. I dont know which would be better. I am open to advice. Thanks in advance!

I realized I posted this thing three times. I keep posting in the wrong place cause I am an idiot. I have it correct now though!

18x8.5+38 and 18x9.5+40 should clear with no problems.

I had 18 x 9.5 with a +45 offset in the rear and it looked great. At +40 I think it would look better and I agree you should have no problems. I would go with the 8.5 in the front if it was me. I had 18 x 8 in the front with my last set and I thought it sat in to much. I have 18 x 8.5 in the front now with a +42 and I think they look perfect. Hit me up if you would like. I have pics of both set ups. Good Luck!
