if you know offsets, come hither

10" rim and a +18 offset will probably need fender rolling.
Doesn't offset really depend on the spoke design? I've heard of folks of the boards running all sorts of +/- offsets but the wheels were all different brands and designs.
What wheel are you planning on running?

trying to decide between Enkei RPF1 or RPO3...id like to run the same size all around so i could rotate tires and save me some rubber, plus apparently stiffening the sidewall up by runnin 265's on 10 or 10.5 inch rims is beneficial.

there is nothing to roll up front
an 18x10 is going to look the same (in terms of where it sits in relation to the body) as a 9 inch wheel with a +25

The tires that come from the factory have zero impact on VDC, or traction control, or handling...there are rules with respect to front to back stagger that have to be adhered to in order to keep these things happy (within 3 % of overall diameter front to back), but you absolutely do not need to have different height from front to back.
just read the reply above.....I misread what you wrote ke0ki2K - you are correct!

I'd go with the RPF1 9.5 +15 all around. It's about as aggressive for the rear as you can get without causing problems up front. It's also plenty wide if you are just going to run 265's and would even give them a very slight stretch.
