It seems too close to me and I think you need lower offset or thicker wheel spacer to move the wheel out. If you cannot replace the wheels with +38 offset while using 5mm spacer, you could try 10mm spacer. But 9.5" is wide, is it poking outside already? The 10mm spacer will make it poke even more. I can see that the sidewall is stretched a little too much on your picture. For 245/35r18 tire, 8.5" is the recommended wheel width, although 9.5" width is borderline within the specs. If you can replace the wheel with 18x8 or 18x8.5 with +38-40 offset, I think you would have no problems and no spacers needed.
