Assuming a regular kickoff spot (that is, not moved by penalty) from the 30, and kick OOB at the 50, here are the options:
1) Back up 5 yds and rekick from the 25.
2) 30 yds from spot of kickoff, first and 10 from the receiving team's 40.
3) 5 yds from out of bounds spot, first and 10 from the kicking team's 45.

Most likely the receiving team will choose #3.
