Factory specs have the rear wheels negative camber'd twice as much as front.

Im not exactly sure how the whole offset thing works and how the spacers affect it, what should I be looking for in a wheel in terms of width and offset for it to look right and not throw everything off?

As amusing as it is to watch this keep going, everyone's making this so much harder than it needs to be, including our clueless thread starter
Instead of ******* around with spacer math (which really . . . isn't that hard)
TAKE OFF THE SPACERS
YOU ARE ALREADY BUYING NEW WHEELS
DUMP THE SPACERS
GET WHEELS IN THE SIZE AND OFFSET YOU WANT
Dig through the wheel threads
Find a look that you like
Copy the sizes
Find a wheel you like
Get the nearest possible sizes
Buy those wheels and tires and whatever other ****
Install
Done
its REALLY simple
given that you don't seem to understand wheel sizing and you're asking about 18's, i'm going to assume an aggressive setup involving coilovers and suspension arms and custom alignment and fenderwork is more than you're looking for
so just copy someone on springs and shocks and be done with it
