From that I've seen:
18x7.5 +38 will look flush up front, but the rear will need a 10mm wheel spacer. You can see in this pic how the front looks good, but the rear is inside the fender. With 7.5 width you get some concave, but if you want a more aggressive look then you'd want 8.75 width.

18x8.75 +33 will look flush in the rear, but the front will poke out 5mm or so. You can apparently fix the front wheels sticking out by adjusting the camber. This is the setup most people go for. From experience I know I want to avoid poke in the front. I really don't like the look. Also, I'm not sure if I like how concave wheels look up front. This is a great picture though...so it really gives me second thought about going staggered.

18x9.75 +20 will stick out a ton on the front and rear. This just looks weird. The bottom picture managed to get 18x9.75 +20 all around. He had rubbing issues of course. You'd need to make some fender mods to run those...
