I have a 5" lip for my rear wheels, front is 4.5" (I don't have a picture of front fitment being my car doesnt have the subframe mounted) I may be creating a new thread regarding fitment issues I may run into. Here are some pictures of the rear wheels mounted on the car with no suspension. Do these cars have a factory rear camber adjustment?
All four wheels originally where 17x7 +45, after replacing the outer lips only the fronts now are 9" wide and rear 9.5" wide

We'll help as much as possible, but wide is probably your best bet.
The fronts are a whole different story. I'd start shopping for wide fronts if i were you, unless you like fixing them daily. I run 17x9+4 up front and my tire grabs my fender and bends it inwards all the time. Unless you run insane camber, you'll need wide fenders.
Sorry for all the bad news

Thanks for the info, I have had my eye on shines front and rear wide fenders, once i get the subframe on I'm sure figure out what needs to be done. I noticed Shines wide fenders are 30mm, is there anything that has less width and vert friendly? I'm looking foward to getting the wheels fitted, it should look pretty good once done. 
You need to buy a camber adjustment bar. Mazdatrix has them for a reasonable price. But either way you are going to have MAJOR issues. 17x9.5 -18.5!?!? You're ****** nuts dude. You'll probably need to go wide unless you Pull the living **** out of you're guards. Like PULL THE **** OUT IF THEM. 17x9.5 ++++15!!! Needs a hard pull, let alone minus ******* 18!!!

EDIT: okay i made a mistake. The rears should be around +8.. Very possible
the fronts should be ~+19?? Looks like you got some perfect offsets. Again i could be wrong,.I'm drinking and cant math right now hahaha

thanks for he info beach, I just measured rear barrel and it's 4.5"( I also measured from the face of the wheel to the edge of the outer lip and fronts I got 4.5" and rear 5") Just eye balling the rear I hope there's enough camber and work I can work with the factory body.
