Do you have the 7.5/8.5" staggered set? If so a 235/45/18 would be the widest in front for a standard mount and a 255/45/18 would be the widest in back for a standard mount. If you go wider it's considered a pinch mount and this can cause excess sidewall roll when cornering, not an ideal situation.
Welcome to the site BTW.

Lucky you, those are the nicest looking OEM sedan wheels IMO. Those are 7.5/8.5 staggered setup, so my previous reply is what I'd go with.

Unless they were individually purchased as a square setup they should be a staggered set, are your tires the same size front & back, if so a quick measure of the rim width should clear that up.

I'd still measure the wheel width, previous owner may have just bought all the same size tires
