F82 Wheel offset for 18inch flush

Hey guys, so im currently looking into buying a set of wheels (18inch) im just a bit stuck with what offset to go with the rears for a flush fitment 18x11 ET44 seems a bit tuck without spacers but i've seen ppl run ET37 which looks much better flushed while running no spacers or camber plates. (currently looking at apex's new line of rims vs5rs)

forgot to mention ill be running KWV3 Coilovers

I'd go with the +37 option. For reference, this is 18x11 +34 in the rear. Perfectly flush, IMO. No spacers. Lowered on KW HAS. -1.9 degrees of camber

Would I be able to run this setup without camber ?
Any rubbing issues?
What's the largest tire size you can fit without rubbing ?

OP, your question is almost impossible to answer without knowing exactly what brand and size tires you want to go with. Different brands of tires vary so widely that one wheel width and offset might be the proper answer for one type of tire but might rub horrendously with another tire with the same numbers on the sidewall.

When you are working with a case where 3 millimeters is the difference between 'flush' and 'rubs like crazy,' to get the best answer, you have to pick your tire choice first and then run your calculation.

No rubbing issues. I could probably get away with running a little less camber if I wanted to

I'm running a 295/35r18. Although I'm confident I can upsize to a 305/35r without any rubbing issues and will do this on my next set of tires. For reference, these tires are Continental Extreme Contact Sports

Apex offsets usually are plus and play and give you a little bit of room to go bigger with a tire.
