I have a set of Enkei PKR wheels off of a 350z. Staggered set up.
Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3
Front: 8.5x18 Offset +24
Rear: 9.5x18 Offset +25

what would I need to do to get these to fit the fd? they are not aggressive enough for a wide body are they? What size tire should I run? Also whats the best tire in your experience?

Look in the suspension/tire/whatever section, there is a spreadsheet that tell you (when you plug your numbers in) whether or not what you have fits.
I think there are a few people in this club who think that 18"s are too big for the FD.

Your offset is 16mm too small in the front and 15mm too small in the back (compared to stock). You cannot fix that with spacers, only make it worse. I think the difference with the stock scrub radius is enough to affect steering and possibly handling, but I'm sure there are people here that have similar numbers for their wheels and they can give you a good idea of what it feels like.
Personally, I think that'll slow you down before affecting your handling. I don't know what rims those are, but the FD's are either 13.8 for the very first ones or 16 lbs (if I'm not mistaking), and if these you're talking about are 20/25 lbs or more, you'll know the first time you get on the gas.

Finally, I am going to take this occasion to address one little "concern". I have stock rims with 245/45 R16 all around. As far as I can tell, these tires are already wide enough to stick slightly past the inner ridge of the edges in the front fenders. Could somebody confirm/disprove this ? Simply saying this because I think that could give you a feel for what "clearances" you're dealing with.
My 2 Canadian cents, anyway. I hope this helps.

honestly, I don't know if I will notice much about heavier wheels, I have cobra rims on my car now those are a bad offset for the fd and I also might be putting down enough tq to where the weight of the weel might help traction lol
