Order some 5 or 10mm spacers and call it a day

That makes no sense. 10mm spacers and some 245/40/18 tires and you should be fine

You will only need spacers for the front, Tire shop guys(Sadly) dont know any thing but OEM fitment and nothing more.

Depending on what kind of stance you want... I would get like a 12mm spacer for the fronts. Rears will fit fine without a spacer.

If you have them in your possession, why don't you just test fit it?

Another thing to remember if going 10mm or larger spacer, You may want longer studs to ensure proper torque.

test fit them and you should only need a 5-10mm spacer on the front. i recommend doing extended studs as well, make sure to get hub centric spacers.
