I currently have a eibach sportlines on my base gt. I found some wheels I like that come in 18x10 with a +42 offset and a 18x9 with a +38 offset. Can I go with a square setup and run the 18x10's all around or do I need to do the 18x9's up front. I plan on running some meaty tires on the back.

I've got 20x10 with a 45 offset at all 4 corners. It was still tucked. I just threw on 20mm spacers and now it's flush. So that's basically a 25 offset.

You'll have plenty of room to put 18x10s at all four corners. I'd go at least 19s unless the car is on coilovers. The wheels will look to small.

This is what it looks like with the factory 18's lowered on the sportlines. To me the wheels look perfect, just want them to be wider. Thanks for the input on the offset, that answered my question.

You can definitely run 18x10 square. Apex sells 18x10 with +43, so you should be fine with +42. You can always add a 5mm spacer on the fronts so you don't have to worry about rubbing against the strut.

IMO 18's look perfect on the S550. Here's my 18x10 ET40 running 275/40 tires square. Lowered on steeda ultralites.

[MENTION=17119]CrazedAntelope[/MENTION] that looks good! Thanks for the pic, these are the wheels I want to go with to keep a factory look, but still have that 10" tread.

What wheels are those?
