You're absolutely right about that.
The offset you want is gonna be determined by how far your flares stick out. If you want them to sit flush with the fenders, you'll have to measure the distance from your hub to the fender. I couldn't really tell you an accurate offset to use, based on simply looking at your pics. Especially considering you only had pics of the front thusfar.
Quick rule of thumb, the lower the offset, the more the rim will stick out. So, an 18x10 +12 will stick out pretty far in the rear. About 4.53 inches from the hub, to be exact. That's almost 2 inches past the stock fender lip. You'll need some beefy flares to fit that, or a WBK!
As for the front, like I said, I couldn't give you an accurate number without knowing exactly how "wide" your fenders are. But from the looks of it, an 18x8 should have a pretty low offset with the "wideness" you have.
Just an example, if you have 1 inch wide flares, you'll be looking at an offest of around +10-12 to sit flush.
If you really want it to look good, you gotta take your time and do lots of measuring. It's like you said, take the time to do it right the first time, and you'll be a lot happier later.
Best of luck! and BTW, your kit's looking pretty good so far. Make sure to keep us updated!
