Rim Quest, AGAIN, I know

I am looking at getting some new rims this summer, I did a search and still have a few questions, here we go:
I am going to get 18 x 9.5 rims for all four corners
to run 255 or 265 / 40 or 35 / 18 TIRES
I know the Bolt pattern is 5x4.75 (120.65 mm)
1) What offset do I need?
2) What back spacing do I need?

I don't want to do any modification to the fenders, don't want the wheels to rub or stick out and I would like to get a sort of deep dish look, but the wheels fitting as stock. I just want to bolt the wheels on and go.

It is my daily driver ( 6 miles daily M-F only), i will be putting the Wings West custom kit and in the future possibly doing the Ibach pro kit.

***I don't know if it would be possible, but it'S worth a shot***

ANY INPUT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED, THANKS IN ADVANCE...

9.5 inch wheels should get at least a 275. I'd even go 285 if I had a few extra bucks.

My buddy, Ford, just purchased some 18x9 Smoothie II's. Some places listed them as 9s, some as 9.5s, much like the ZR1 wheel.

He easily fit a 275 on there, and wants to go with 295s for the rear.
