Thanks guys, I have been researching backspace for a couple weeks now and there are several opinions. Some from guys with finished cars, some from guys with obviously mismatched components that have problems, others have painted cars and can't tolerate any amount of rubbing and some that are ok with major fender surgery. I'm trying to take it all in and come up with something that will work for my car.
I did find a reply from Bret @ Ridetech that says a 18x9.5 with 5.5 BS will work with no issues on the front. I'm ok with fender mods and minor rubbing at a low ride height, as long as it doesn't crease a fender once it's painted I'm good.
Unless anyone can see issues I will take Bret's advice and the advice of the guys who were nice enough to post up above and I will order 18x9.5 5.5 BS AND 18x12 5.5 BS for the rear. 275/35 & 335/30's
