I don't have the wheels so everything I am about to say is theoretical. Hopefully someone with real world experience will chime in. However, this should give you a relatively good idea.
Front Wheel is 18x8 and an 8" wide wheel can generally take up to about 245-255 width tire.
Rear Wheel is an 18x9 and a 9" and you can run a 265-275.
Doing some quick research it seems you have a better tire selection in the 245/45r18 sizes for the front (most notably the Bridgestone RE-11).
For the rear I'd recommend the 275/40r18 for two reasons: first and most important it will match the diameter of the 245/45r18 tire. second, the RE-11 is available in that size.
I estimate this the widest grippiest tire setup that you can run on the OEM 18s.
For clarity: 245/45r18 Front & 275/40r18 Rear and I would recommend the Bridgestone RE-11s
