There's no reason to get staggered wheels. Especially not wider ones in the rear, on a front-wheel-drive car.

FIRST decide on the proper tire size for your car, and THEN decide on the wheel width. For your car, the best 18" tire size is 215/40-18. That size must be mounted on wheels 7.0-8.5 inches wide. So go with the 18x7.5 (NOT the 18x9.5) all around.

Nope.

You want something retarded (wider rear wheels on a FWD car).
You want something unsafe (stretching tires).

If you want to continue down this path, the place to ask is in the Appearance/Cosmetic forums, not here.
