Also, you want a design that is visually larger. This will help fill the perceived fender gap. So try do the following:
1. Make sure the offset takes you to flush. As noted for an 18x9 wheel, an offset of between 40-43 will be best on a non-lowered car (lower offset for a lowered car that will get natural negative camber).
2. Try to pick a wheel design where the the spokes meet the flange (to the edge of the wheel lip).
3. Try to pick a wheel with some concavity. This is where the spoke starts at the flange and then projects inward toward the hub. If possible pick a design where the spokes decrease in width from the lip to the hub.
The stock wheels use the above effects to look "bigger than 17s". I know you're selecting 18"s, but without lowering the car, the wheel gap is still going to be noticeable. By doing the above the viewers eye will be drawn to a wheel that looks larger than it actually is.
There are hundreds of wheels to look through. Check out the following links:
