I'm running 17x8 +40 up front. Looks pretty good. Would still need about another 10mm to be "flush" if that's what you are looking for. =)

Mines are 18x8 all around, not exactly sure about offset but I'm pretty sure its either +38 or +40.

I have a set of 18x8 +40 Evo in storage I refuse to put on because you either have to run negative camber or stretch the tires to keep them from sticking out past the fenders in an ugly manner. If you drop the car they tuck in slightly and look good, but you tear tires up. They are just a tad to far out to flush up tires on a nice zero camber setup so they just end up annoying.

here are my old pics when I tried my +40.

It sits out about 3mm unless you put some negative camber on.
