There's lot of space below the arches, so you can safely go 10/15mm more (F/R) on the outside. Some here are running with even more agressive offset, like 20 to 25mm but it might not be street legal in some countries (or can cause rubbing issues).
Cheers
Did you mean 235/45 not 40? To go with your 265/40.

My Original Set Up was 17x7.5 ET34 c/w 225/50/17's. Because I wanted Max. Profile my best fitment for the Wheels I liked was.
18x8.5 ET35 Front c/w 235/45/18, 14mm Less I/Side - 12mm More O/Side
18x9.5 ET33 Rear c/w 265/40/18, 24mm Less I/Side - 26mm More O/Side
I was told these would fit even with a slight lowering. Not totally convinced though.

My 1'st upgrade was 18x7.5 ET35 SQ. Set Up. Also considering getting 2x 18x9's for the rear. Waiting on pricing from USA before Decision Time.
