Best way to make this work?
Hey guys. I want to put 18x10.5's +5 in the rear and 18x9.5's +15 in front and I want to lower my car by an inch maybe a tad more like 1.2".
My question is what size tires do you guys recommend for a fat agressive look, do you think those offsets will look silly, specifically the rear, and will I rub regardless or a roll or whatever I do?

I ran a whole 5mm off those specs with a 275/40-18 rear, then later with a 285/35-18 rear. Up front with 9.5 +15 I have run 275/35-18 ,245/40-18 and 255/40-18

i haven't found any of this information about how much you actually roll your fenders or why exactly you do it.

Just wondering.... is there a particular reason you want +5mm offset rear wheels?

found a pair of wheels that I absolutely love. That's the only offset they offer in that width of wheel, that and I really wouldn't mind such an aggressive look.

I've run every combination of wheel up to 11" wide with 295/35 and lowered; never had any clearance issues - offsets in the mid-20s - until I went to a "modest" 9.5" +15mm.
The key is to set up your suspension to properly accommodate the aggressive tire/wheel fitment.

basic look I'm going for except not QUITE that low. Cosmis S1's in black chrome is what I'm after.

But, never ran such a wheel so take my comment with salt.

That car doesn't look like it's lowered much, if at all.
^^^ Agree - with tires mounted on "correct"- +15mm+offset wheels. I still maintain that there will still be interference with a 10.5 wide, +5 wheel; unless running a stretch tire....which is not a preferable solution, any more than minusing camber for the purpose of tire fitment.

what about pulling fenders? Could that help?
