We checked the rear wheel and it is a +74 offset:

They are going to be +70-72 FYI. If you don't mind rolling your fenders, you can push them out an additional 20mm. So +50-55. This is the range your working with on a 10.5/285 combo.

Currently looking into:
18x9.5"(+50-55 offset) wheels w/ a 255/265 tires for the front.
18x10.5"(+60-65 offset) wheels w/ a 275/285 tires for the rear.

Correct, these are the sizes your going to want to locate for that fitment you want

+74 on a 10.5" is going to have inner clearance issue on marginally dropped cars with any more then about -1 camber under suspension compression. Its not really an ideal offset. You can clear the stock fenders without rolling with a +70-72 and get a little more room for camber for street/track. But ideally rolling the fenders and running in the +60 range is going to offer the best fitment for lowering the car and full range of camber/alignment adjustment.

We tested the +74 with a 5mm spacer esentially bringing the final offset to +69.

Both offsets had zero rubbing issues with our current suspension (Zeal Endless coilovers). We were not going for a hella flush look but rather a functional nice tucked look that can be daily driven.
