Default 265f and 295r TE37 9.5 12mm offset and 10.5 22mm offset work?

I'm considering a couple things and need some feedback

volk TE37 wheels, Michelin PS2 tires and everything needs to clear a brembo brake kit

front
265/35/18 tires on 9.5 wheels with 12mm or 35mm offset - does volk make a 22mm offset for the 9.5 18"?
rear
295/30(or 35 if it'll fit?)/18 on 10.5 wheels with 22mm offset

is the rear too aggressive of an offset for 295/35/18? will 295/30/18 fit much better?

I'm planning on getting the HKS hippermax II suspension and front and rear 350EVO arms

I have no problem getting my fenders rolled/cut, but wondering if anyone has any comments? I've been searching and searching, but seems that most people using 10.5 TE37 are using 19" - really wish volk would offer more offsets in the 18" 10.5! it's either too much or too little offset for 295's it seems. Or does anyone know if Volk offers a 18" 10.5 with an offset somewhere in between 22 and 45?

yes volk makes a 18x9.5 +22
here is the size sheet:
http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/...modelName=TE37

you may rub with a 295 in the back with a +22. but if you run some camber, you may be able to get away iwth it. as long as u said that you dont mind rolling/cutting your fenders, i dont see why not. i mean, jason@performance had 295's on a 10.5 +30 offset, fo i dunno how 8mm will affect it.

i am may sell/selling my hks hypemax damper 2 suspension if you are interested.

ok cool - yeah just noticed on the volk site they have their sizes listed. Funny, some of the vender sites I was on didn't list +22 as an optional offset for 9.5 18" rim

According to the Volk site, there is no +40 10.5 18" rim, but it's listed on other places.

Another option I've been considering, but not thrilled about is getting a larger offset then some spacers/hub adapters to lessen the offset to where I'd want it.

daytona350z, I might be interested in buying it, but I'm not going to be ready to buy for about 2-2.5 months. Just trying to nail down exactly what it is I'm going to be buying, but I'm pretty much 100% sure that's the suspension I'm going to get.

yea, i see what you mean. the volks are a very nice rim, but limited to us z ownewrs because of out offsets. another option for you is to buy the porsche volk te37's with a +40 offset and get an adapter that will fit a 5x130.
i dunno tho, u may not wanna do that.

yea, the hks is great, and everyone who has it says the same. you will be very satisfied with it. if i still have it when you are loking to buy, i'll let you know

I think it should fit with the 22mm offset. I know they also make a 38 mm offset in the 10.5 wide as well. I recently ordered some black LE37's, and I was debating on the 22 or 38 offset. With the 22mm you know the wheel will come out to the edge of the fender, maybe slightly out-this along with the 10.5" width it gives the spokes a nice concave look. Jeff @ EVolution said the 38 mm would have straighter spokes, and of course sit in the wheel well more. I went with the 22mm, Im just going to roll/cut the fenders. Im starting off with a 285/35 19 in the rear, if I have more clearance Ill replace those with a 295. EDIT-sorry I didnt notice you were asking about 18", I know for sure they offer the 19x10.5 in 22 and 38mm offsets, maybe its the same for 18's...
