double checking wheel offset

I know theres been alot of discussion on here about wheel offset but I'm hoping some of you wheel savy can double check and make sure I came up with the correct offset please. Sam has been helping me so far with showing me what needs measured and stuff. I'm thinking of 18's (245/55/18) in front and 20's (265/55/20) in back or I might just run 20's on all four in which I would put 245/55/20 in front and 265/55/20 in back. Here are some pics with all the measurements I took and hopefully someone can let me know if I did it correctly. Thanks...

Front wheel info



If I did it correct I came up with a -12 offset for the fronts.

Heres the rear info pics




and if I did this right I came up with a +6 offset. I'm getting these numbers off the chart in this next pic so if I did anything wrong please let me know.



Thanks again for any and all help, here are a couple pics of the rims I'm looking at. right now my wife really likes the Martin bros Sharktooth rims (top pic) and I like the bottom rims but both are nice. Hope ya'll like...

as I said in my note, I think you've done great.. tell them the backspacing, and let them figure out the offset..

Oh, and if you can, get them clear coated.. will make keeping the shine easier..
