I currently have Front 17x8 +25 with 225/45/17 and Rear 17x9 +35 with 255/40/17
Future plans include stepping up to a 9" front and 10" rear rim for a little more traction. I am still debating between 17" and 18" wheels.

It doesn't matter what tire size you put on the front, it's going to look like ass with a +38 offset. Go put your stock 16" SE wheels back on for a sec.... the first set will be 8mm farther out, and the second set will be 14mm farther out. The rears will be about right.
If you go with Lincoln's setup on the first set of wheels, they sidewalls will be pretty square. Subtract 10mm of width from each to get a sportier look.
As for the 18's... dude, 28lbs per wheel?! I've seen boat anchors that weigh less. If you just want them for looks, though, it shouldn't matter. For tires just go with the same widths as above and decrease the aspect ratio by 5%.
