Fronts will be about 1mm from rubbing the strut with that width and offset.

So do you think with spacers i could solve that? and what diameter, without the tire sticking out the fender?

I have 2007 and running fronts 8.5 35ET with michelin 235/40 18 and rears 9.5 35ET michelin 275/35-18.
Front rims are ok with 225s but 235s rub so I needed 3mm spacers. Instead I sanded the rim protector off the inside side of the front tires & no rubbing.
Rears fit fine but I installed the 3mm spacers I already had on the rears and all is well
Most people go w/ 225/40-18s front and those won't rub
