Question (if anyone knows)... what offset do I want on a 17" rim that is 10" wide to put 295's on and have the rubber still inside (or not protruding) the wheelwell?

I have tried the calculator and its not accurate enough (meaning, it doesn't tell me when I will hit my suspension on the inside or peek out too far on the outside). Before I go through the whole order/purchase process, I just want to do it right. My goal is to get as wide of rubber on the back without having to roll or pull the rear quarters. Currently with the 9.5" 255's I have with a +38 offset, I don't hit at all. Its basically perfect except on a very severe dip at high speed. Then the inner lip of the quarter taps the rubber. That's the only time it does.

Wondering if I am describing this clear enough to get an accurate answer. I pretty well want to go as wide as possible, but tucked in as much as possible without hitting anything. Pretty sure I can go 295's.

If your fenders are not rolled, you can do 10" in the high 40s. If you're fenders are rolled, you can do 10s in the high 30s.

So I would need 10" with a +42-+45 range and Max tire width of 275?

This probably has been done before, but I can't find anyone running 10s without the wheel protruding from the well or they have rolled and pulled the rear wells.
Fronts are perfect with a 18" 8.5" rim on a +38 offset, IMO.

The fronts will walk me a bit on ruts, but not enough to affect my steering control. I actually prefer a bit thinner up front but they don't look right

I was referring to a 10" wheel with 295 tires that you want to run. However 295 on a 10" wheel will bulge a little. 275s are more appropriate on a 10" wheel. If you want 295s to look good, you ought to run 11" wheels.

You dont normally see people with 10" wheels without rolled fenders because unless you get custom wheels, 10" wheels will normally have offsets in the high 20s and low 30s.

this. most wheels will be in the +10 to +30 range. as rodel said, you'd need to have some made to order to get that size and offset...... and that's gonna cost you. lol
i planned on 18x11 + 40ish, but i couldn't find ANYTHING. i ended up with 18x10 +25 all around, with 265-35's. i could probably do a 285-30 out back the way it sits.

Can you order Volks 3 piece with spec settings or are they only at their advertised setup?

That may be a stupid question... Lol

I think I have my answer though. I just needed to know max width and offset before it pokes out or touches the inner suspension.

With Volks, you get what they list. If you want Jdm wheels with more size and offset variation, take a look at SSR.

18x9.5 +12. 245/40-18
18x10.5 +22. 295/45-18 (need a smaller rear tire

Fenders rolled needs slight pulling in rear but overall they look great to me!

Looking to pull the trigger on a set of 18x8.5 et30 and 18x9.5 et25 - Front/Rear. I know if I run a 245/40 in the front I'll be fine, but I wanna run 255/40 in the rear. I'm worried the rear might poke too far or rub hard on the fenders? I'm currently on a square setup - 17x9 et 35 on 245/45 - and there is plenty of room to go bigger. I'm on coilovers, but would like to avoid rolling, if possible. Any insight?

Insight:
Your new rear wheel will stick out 16mm more than your current setup . 255 tires wont be an issue

My goal is to run 295's 18" wheels. I am willing to roll and do a slight pull to the fenders. Currently, I am running a Full Coil-Over Suspension with a Full BBK from Wilwood. I just found some wheels that are 18 x 10 - Offset +24 and 18 x 11 - Offset +19.

Opinions....please....
