18" wheels, lowered, no wheel spacers?

What's the magic offset number number for an 18x8 wheel if I want to lower a late Cooper S but NOT use spacers for strut clearance? Most likely going with KW coils or Eibachs/Koni FSD for about a 1" drop or so.

I read about a few people with 18" JCW wheels and lowered suspension needing spacers.

I'm on 18" JCW and I need 10mm spacers (minimum) with M7 coilovers.
