I like the wheel sizes, but I do not want to run tons of camber (or basically more than what a decent handling street car should have.) Thanks.
Read up through this thread and you will see that 18x9 +45 will not fit well on the front, unless you choose to stay with stock camber and suspension and it is still very close (read: too close) to the strut perch.
And since you state that you will be dropping by 1", you will likely be running at least -1 camber or more if camber bolts are used. So they won't fit for sure.

Adding negative camber will pull the top of the wheel closer to the strut.

I am running 18x9 +35 and only have 7mm clearance between the strut and rim.

Ideal offsets for those wheels sizes would be:

18x9 +35
18x9.5 +40
