Agree with swarb's suggestion.

I use 18x9.5 +45 as a reference for max flushness without rubbing on 265/35R18 tires (some tires that run wide like MPSS may rub the bumper tab depending on your camber/height/spring rate). The spacing difference between 18x9.5 +45 and 18x7.5 +48 is 28.4mm. So you could use 25mm or 30mm spacers.

People go further out with 18x9.5 +40 or +38 wheels but at that point they need to run slightly narrower (stretched) tires and/or roll their fenders. In that case you can fit a 35mm.

Click my sig to see pics of how 18x9.5 +45 look (currently only in my rear with 18x8.5 +42 and 3mm spacer in front, older pics show 18x9.5 +45 square). And there's plenty of 18x9.5 +40 or +38 fitment pics on this forum.
