18x8 +43
18x9 +15

19x9 +47
19x10 +30

We know rear spacers of 20 will work and 15 on fronts on the 19s, so you could go with offsets as much as
19x9 +32
19x10 +10

Maybe even a little more aggressive than that if you wanted, but those are definitely proven safe.

Translating that to the 18s,
you could go with a range of
18x8 +19 through +43
and 18x9 from -3 through +15
these offsets keep them anywhere from stock, to sitting just inside the fender.

Question, if I want to purchase some winter rims of 18" but want to keep the width down to say 215 or 225 at the most, would the same offsets apply but with a narrower rim?

It wouldn't hurt, at most they would stick in a little farther. Best bet is to play with an offset calculator, like this one and see.
