18x10 & 18x12 or 18x9 & 18x11?

Im Rich, and "I approve this message", My 69 also has a DSE clip ordered my forgeline zx3p's with 6.125 offset 18x 10 275 toyo 888 not nearly as low as Matts car, turn the wheel to lock just barely touched the frame and both inner fenders around the tops. Install stainless button head screw all around the inner fender. Nightmare, back to forgeline for a rehoop, outer wheel shell 1 inch smaller making the overall 18x9 and its perfect, and I could drop the front more if I want. It doesn't really look like it sucked the wheel in to the wheel house, clearing the fender is the biggest problem.
