I would say the 45 mm rear will stick out of the wheel well. Unless you like that kind of thing I would not do it.

I suggest you look for a width no less than 18x7.5 front and 18x8.5 rear.
And, ideal offsets should be no less than 18x7.5 +50mm front and 18x8.5 +55mm rear.

18x7.5 and 18x8.5 are good widths because you can either run:
215/40/18 & 245/35/18
or
225/40/18 & 255/35/18 (I like this setup).

In the rear I actually perfer 18x9 +65mm with 255/35/18.
