You would need a 10mm spacer on the fronts and a 15mm spacer on the rears, you could probably also do a 20mm spacer for a more aggressive look. You can get these for an excellent price from James at CreativeAutoworks.com. Just give him a call, and he'll tell you what will be best. I recommend the Rogue Engineering spacers - but they all cost the same so it's just personal choice.

By the way, post a link to your wheels so we can see them

By the way, I think your tire size is wrong. You really need a 225/40/R18, not 245/35/R18. If you go with the latter your speedometer and odometer will be off by 1mph (you'll show 59 when going 60). Just a word of warning.
