It will sit perfectly fine front and back, even if you slam. i run 18x9 & 18x10, also slammed with pulling fenders in the front, back running neg 4 camber. it sits perfectly fine. so with your sizing, i think there wouldn't be a problem.

Can you ask your dealer if they will sell center disks?
(my local rep won't, what's the point of getting 3 piece wheels if you can't get replacement centers.. wtf...)
I need two 19" centers - VS-XX (R) disk - gold.
If they will sell the centers, I will give you my contact info.

Just to let you know.
VS-XX with too much offset isn't that nice looking.
These are +43

Here are my VS-xx with +21 offset, sometimes I wish I had even less!

a quick fyi, whether a rim clears a brake caliper depends on the spoke design not necessary offset and size. for stock brakes i would talk to the dealer possibly run the standard Adisk up front and the deep rim ODisk in the rear. any big brake would require a higher disk type
if youre open to other size options another easy set up could be 18x8 and 18x9 +38 offset. step up the rim size and the lower offset help bring the rim a little further out closer to the fender.

You might have issues with the front wheels rubbing against one of the suspension arms. I know that the 2IS 17" wheels needed a spacer to clear. IIRC, the specs are 17x8+45. Due to the larger diameter, the 18" 2IS wheels fit with no spacers required. The rear wheels (17 or 18) didn't have issues.

I found some pics of the same wheels w/ the same specs. I don't know if the owner needed spacers up front, but here are a couple of his pics.
