Fitment Industries Gallery is a fantastic tool for figuring out what works and what doesn't work and how it will look. This is a 18x8.5 on a 235/40 stock and it fits perfectly fine and look half decent.

My question is simply what's the "ideal setup" running stock suspension - where "ideal" means widest wheel/tire combo that doesn't rub, doesn't require modification to the car, and retains stock circumference so the speedometer stays accurate.
I know the stock wheels are 18x7.5 +48 and I would like to keep an eye out for a good deal on something lighter but I want to know where the line is between "fits stock" and "needs work". I don't want to roll/shave fenders at all, but coilovers are something I'm considering down the road, maybe.
Wheels/tires are an easy sell to the wife because we need a set for winter and I'm thinking the stock wheels will do nicely for that (so I'm not paying someone twice a year to mount/unmount my tires).
So what I'm looking for is something along the lines of "18x8 +45 is the biggest that fits without rubbing on a stock car" or whatever the actual numbers would be. After that it's fairly simple to calculate the rubber that goes on that wheel without bulging or throwing off the speedo.
