18 and 19's are big wheels, but the offset you want is 35mm or 40mm....Those both will work with that wide of wheel

If you have 7" rims now (stock 40 offset), the 8.5" with 35 offset will move the wheel 14mm (@9/16") closer to the strut. I can't see how they will fit without hitting the suspension.
Try this:

I run 18x8.5s all around, +37 offset. That is NOT enough offset for the inside clearance, I am running 1/4" spacers as well and Im still RIGHT there within 1/8" of the struts up front, even with skinny (225-40) tires. See pic below.
