For the rear, i read somewhere that 275/40/18 would rub with 18x9.5 +45

i would go +40 in the back, if you are considering stoptech's 14" BBK in the back. i have it (14" stoptech BBK front & rear) and in the back the clearance between the caliper and the wheel is about 1.5mm - this is with +43 offset in the back. if you go a little higher, it won't fit.
now, that's the only consideration - but i'd go with equal offset front and rear on 8.5-wide and 9.5-wide rims. +43 would be perfect, +40 and +45 would also work.
+50 in the front *will* rub on the shocks.
