Default Square setup with different offset?

I'm looking at getting new wheels and was looking to go with a square setup. I'm looking at getting some 18x9.5 wheels. I measured my current setup(touring v2) and want the new setup as flush as can be without using spacers. Seeing what's available it looks like I should get +22 or 25 front and +12 rear. Just curious if anyone else has done this?

I'm sure people do, but I just run rear spacers. Simple and easy to rotate tires, one of the common reasons to go square

What he said. I run a 10 mill and extended studs in the rear to sit better but still able to rotate

You ever had problems with the spacers? I'm probably just being paranoid but I wanted to avoid using spacers. It makes sense though, a lot more so than buying different offsets for the front and back. Especially if I decided to sell the wheels in the future. I've always just heard bad things about spacers.

Proper hub centric spacers with quality hardware is very safe. I run Ichiba slip on spacers with ARP studs. If I were to buy another set of spacers, I old buy the Z1 brand.

And if I was to do studs again I'd do ARP
