Wheel offset for 18" 8.5 and 9.5 rear?

Hello everyone,

I am new here just sold my r33 skyline a few months back and kept my 04 AT rx8.
I am going to be converting it into my new drift car with a FI 13brew bridgeport. (please I'm not saying that to get bashed, and I am not one of those dreamers about doing the swap as some say)

I am going for my handling first. I'm not going to post all the things I'm getting for it since I'll be saving that for when I actually have them and get approved to start a thread in the correct topic.

I'm getting coilovers control arms, tie rods etc the basics..
What I'm trying to figure out with this post is what wheel offset I should use (Especially in the front for rubbing after I mod my knuckles/arm).

I will be going with 18" wheels 8.5 front and 9.5 rear.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to roll my fenders and might pull them until I get some wider fenders, but looks is last for me at the moment..

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

18X9.5 +35 fits without any major work front and back depending on tires. Anything less than that and you start to have issues with the outside( fenders rub)
