Greene Coilovers and NM wheels. Space question.

Hey guys. I just installed Greene Performance coilovers in my R53. Stock s lites rub in the front. My plan is to ditch them soon for some NM RSE12s. I ordered some 6mm spacers which should be great with the stockers. My question is, when going from stock 17x7 +48 offset to 18x7.5 +45 offset, will the 6mm give me enough wiggle room. From online calculators, the spacers will give me an extra 2.4 or 2.6mm over the stock setup using 205/40 R 18 tires. Is that enough? If not, will 12mm spacers poke too much and cause rubbing on the outside? Seems 8mm and 10mm spacers are next to impossible to get to work based on hub. Thoughts?
