Well, this car is my daily and I'll never mod it much. There will be some minor bolt on and a tune in its future. The stock wheels are 8.5s and to me they look fine. I'd probably go 9 but I don't see the point of going wider. I will probably go smaller for winter tires though. Got 245s on the stock wheels right now, but 235 or even 225 would be better.
But just to assure you, 9.5's are not as aggressive as you think. An 18x9.5 +22 with 265/30 tires fits perfectly with no fender mods required. But if it is your daily and you gain no benefits from the increased grip, then keeping it stock is a good idea too.
Also, tire sizing for an 8.5" wide wheel is 245. 235 would work as well, but 225 would be stretching the tire a little.

If you like the 18x8.5's you currently have, it'd probably be wise to just save your money and keep the stock wheels.
