From what I've seen 18x8.75 +35 is flush in the rear. If you go to +20 they're going to stick out a good amount. +35 up front will poke out about 5mm, and +20 rear will poke out a lot more. You can see in the picture below.
If you want flush, then +35 in the rear is the way to go. The only problem with that is the rear will be flush, but the front will poke about 5mm. I know someone who has put a 5mm spacer in the rear just so the poke in the front and rear look similar.
Personally, I hate poke. I've decided to go with a 18x7.5 +38 for the front which is very flush from the pictures I've seen. For the rear I'm going with 18.8.75 +33 so that I'll have the same flushness both front and rear without any spacers. In order to avoid poke I needed to get a staggered setup, which I actually don't mind. I've found pictures of XXR 530's staggered and they look pretty good.
Here's a picture of 18x8.75 +35 in the rear. You can see how it's flush.
Here's a pic of 18x8.75 +20 in the rear. Tons of poke.
