Lower offset just means they'll "stick out" more. The rears aren't the problem.
OEM wheels are offset 50mm. A 33mm offset in the front wheel will move the outer edge of the wheel 17mm outward - plus an extra 1/4 inch for the wider wheel (8 to 8.5 means 1/4 inch wider on each side)
As a result the outer edge of the front wheel will be just shy of 1 inch (.92 inches) further to the outside than stock.
I would personally try to stay as close to 50 as I could going only as low as 45 just to be safe - but that's just me. I KNOW 18x9.5 with a 45 offset will fit all four corners perfectly.

22 would stick out too much. Then again anything will fit with fender work and very aggressive camber. But you would go through tires like I go through shoes.
9.5 you want to do something like +40,42,45

i got 25 in the rears..on 9.5
you can go lower even..depending on the camber, tire profile and fender rollage..
id highly recommend it.. if you like an aggressive look
