Best offset racing setup

Right now I'm on a 9.5 rear 40offset with 8.5 front 34 offset with room. I wanna run 315 on rear on a 18 inch rim I'm gonna need a 10.5 I was told in the past that a 42 offset would work but needed rolling I don't mind going higher then 42 but I'm afraid of rubbing on inside . Then I'm thinking to run 9.5 in the front with 265 on a 35offset. Has anyone attempted this setup ??? Please chime in

I'm currently running 18 9.5 43 Offset in the back and I could easily tuck a 295 30 18 with no problem. I decided to go with the 285's instead for the price difference. I think to get into the 315 territory you'll need a wider wheel.

yes i want to run a 10.5 on a 18 with a 315 i just don't know if it will work without rolling fenders i also don't know how big to go in the front. I'm ordering custom rims again after i sell these.
