how about these? 18x9 and 18x10

Im getting really frusterated with wheels and I think I found some i like. I tried to search for what offset I need but I cant seem to find it with 18x9 and 18x10.... I want the tires to be clse to flush with the fender lip. I dont want them to stick if much if possible.
thanks

Read post #15 in the "Wheel and Tire FAQ - General Topics", stickied at the top of the Wheel and Tire main page.

I've assumed you have a 4th Gen F-Body. The info in the FAQ is specific to 4th Gens. Might want to add a "signature", with basic info about your car - year, model, engine, tranny and any major mods. That way people can give you more accurate responses.

I'd would definitely check on the 18x10s on the back especially if your going to order online. I order 18x10.5 thru a tire store and even with a spacer they were too close for comfort... i ended up putting 18x9.5 z06 rims in the rear and those worked perfectly. as for the front 18x9 will be fine. My wheels are a lil inside from the lip but not bad

The 41mm offset on the 10" wide wheels moves them far away from the inside fender, toward the outside of the body. The outer edge of the tire will sit about 1/8" deeper in the wheel wells than these:
