18s on rx7 series 2 rx7 need help

Hello i got a set of konig hotswap 18X7.5 8h bk with lexani 225/40r18 tyres they fit great on the rear not rubbing or anything but im having problems puting them on the front..I rolled my guards and had to put 6mm spacers on as they were rubbing on the inside on the springs.With the spacers they are to close to the guards touching when turning thought of getting smaller spacers but notice it was still rubbing on the inside...So i decided to quit while i was ahead to see if anyone here can help me i sure someone here has pulled it off any suggestions would be appreciated thankyou...

I suggest getting smaller wheels. 18"ers look way to big on a SA or FB. If you are heartset on keeping them then if rolling your fenders hasn't done enough then you might need a kit to keep things in check. What is the offset of the wheels for it to rub so much on the inside with spacers?
