This way I can also enjoy the Staggered look without sacrificing my ability to rotate my tires.
I guess I'm just really frightened about clearing the front--is 7mm really enough?

You'll be way past flush out front even without spacers on a 18x9.5" wheel on stock suspension. That will poke at least a half an inch past the fenders. As to the rear, you'll be almost perfectly filled out as-is.
I wouldn't worry about spacers on the rear at all, and use the smallest possible one out front to clear the stock spring perch.
I don't have experience with clearance with stock springs as I'm running coilovers, but most seem to get by OK with a spacer and slightly less wide tires (say a 245 instead of a 265 tire). Hopefully someone else can chime in on front clearance for you so you get a definitive answer.
Edit: not sure if you've seen this thread, but you can get an idea of how much the fenders are filled out with these exact wheels here -
