50mm 18x10 will rub the struts. The ideal offset for 18X10 is 42mm. 48mm is the HIGHEST you can get away with.

You may get away with 45mm for the 18x8.5 however the ideal offset for 18x8.5 is 50mm. With 45mm there is a chance it will rub your fenders.

I can assure you my info is legit because I went through the exact same process when I got my wheels.

I have 18X10 rears with 48mm offsets and I use the OEM 5mm spacers which brings my offset to 43mm. My fronts are 18x8.5 with 55mm offsets no spacers however 5mm spacers would give my car a much better look I just never got around to installing them..
