Proper offsets for 18x10 rear wheels

It sucks to think about this, but winter is coming. If I decide to drive my TT in the winter, Ive read you have to use 18x10 rear wheels in order to get the acceptable size winter tires. Id like to use my stock 18x8 fronts and either get OEM 18x10 or replicas and use spacers. Id prefer replicas because Im sure OEM's are expensive. Would these work?

I would be VERY careful with cheap replicas... they have a tendency to bend when hitting even the smallest pothole

Just use the stock rears, im sure you wont have any problem finding snow tires to accomodate an 11" wide wheel, its 19" wheels you have to worry about! Goodluck.
