Talking New Wheels!! whoooo

Whooo hooo New Wheels!
Hello Guys!,

I'm so excited!, today I received my new wheels. 18" TSW Thruxtons 9.5 R 8.5 F.. I like them very much and not as heavy as I thought. What had worried me was the Offset. I made a mistake and had them +35 on the rear , everybody said it was awful but they are not that bad , eventually I'll buy some spacers for it to look more aggressive . Now question:

- What tires ( not brand ) but specs. I was thinking about buying 275/40 on the rear and stick with a 245/40 on the front.

Opinions suggestions options are welcome!!, thanks everybody!! and I know those are the most expensive invisible tires you can look at in the pics...

it wont be horrible on the rear...

but looks different once the car is set down...

here are 18x9.5 +30 with 275/40/18

I think this picture is a great example displaying the offsets...

the 18x9.5 +35 will be tucked under 5mm (half a centimeter) more then this image... You could do a 10mm - 15mm spacer... but its not horrible...
