Depends on your goal or how you want them to look or fit?
Generally +38mm on a GR before rolling is needed. All depends on tire, as well.
Gimmie some more details on your plans like suspension, how you want it to look, etc?

+38 is about flush in regards to the fender but no poke. Anything lower is gonna start to poke without some camber dialed in at least on the front. Roll and pulls for the rear the lower the offset.
Just generally speaking. Every setup is a little different and depending on tire as well as wheel width but for your 9.5, 38 mm will be close.

I had a little rub on a similar 18x9.5 +38 with a 265/35 tire on stock suspension and on really big dips, in the rear. When I put coilovers on and set the height at -1.5 I had to roll the fenders with the 265 tire. My rear camber was about -2.5. I set the front to -1.7 in order to bring the tire back in flush. Fronts rubbed the liner only on severe dips with my setup.
Check out my journal and look at the pics in the first posts. This will give you a very good idea of what your looking at. I'm going +25 in a month so my setup is changing with new wheels and such. Lol

ok guys so i have bee looking around at rims for awhile now and i have picked two. just want some opinion on offset and what will fit the best. and to get your out put on the rims i have picked. ok so the first one would be the enkei rs05rr in black +35 offset. the other ones would be the SSR type-F gold +35 or +40 not sure which off set will give me the flush look. they will both be on 18-9.5

[MENTION=1507]Spamby[/MENTION] should know this answer.

Both will work pretty well. The +40 may be just a smidge less flush. +35 should be at or near the fender, especially in the front. You'll probably need a roll in the rear with the +35. Actually, the plus 35 will be a touch outside if the fender in the front without some camber.

so +35 might push it a hint to far.. so that means the +40 would be the smarter choice?

You could add about -1.0 or -1.5 camber in the front to pull it back in. Plus you'll add some cornering ability with the camber.
Personally, I'd go the 35 but either really is gonna look nice.

245/40, 255/35, 265/35 will all work but it depends on if your lowered and how much.
