Custom wheel sizing!

I would like to know a few things about an offset problem I am having. I'm getting a set of 18"x10" wheels, front and rear. What would be the best offset and backspacing for this width? I can get any spacing I need. I would like to run BFG G-Force KD's all around with a 295/35 sizing. The car will also have a Pro-Kit on it. If anyone could help with these sizing issues, it would be appreciated.

My 17x9.5" wheels are 48mm offset.

1/2" = 12.7mm

I use a 1/4" spacer (6mm) in the rear (I just leave it on for my 17x11" ZR-1 autocross wheels) which means my rear wheels are offset ~42mm. There is plenty of room on the inside for the wheel to extend in 1/4". So I guess what I'm saying is that maybe around a 42mm offset would be very close to being right.

Would that be for both front and rear?

Another quesion to someone...
American Racing TT2's are now sized in 18"x10", do they not have an F-Body offset? Any help ono this fon would be great as well, thanks.

Front and rear.

Can't answer about the AR wheels. I would give them a call.
