rim fitment

looking at a staggered package but i'm not sure what the fitment will be like. here are the specs.

car is an 87 turbo with a stock body and suspension.
rims are:
front - 18x9 +24
rear - 18x10 +22

i'm thinking bad fitment, but wanted to get your ideas. not planning on doing a widebody or anything.

18s are waaaay too big for the FD. You should run 16s or 17s. The 16s would look best

I picked up some 17s on my 88 se and the were way to big to wide also.. 16s or some sweet 15s would go great on an fc..the smaller 15s will definatly change your gear ratio too..

That's why you get the correct size tires.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. The rims are cheap and local though, so I had to ask. I am looking at some ms-01's but can't bring myself to pay that ridiculous price on used rims. Looking at 16's or 17's for the street and going to drag radials on the stockers for the track.
