18" rim upgrade on 93 RX-7

I am about to upgrade my rims/tires on my 93 RX-7 and need to know what 18" rim would fit/look best. I am currently running 17" 235/40 on the front and 255/45 on the back. I want to replace it with a larger rims and tires without have to modify body or have any rubbing issues. I am thinking in the range of 265's in the back and 245's in the front, not sure what rim size would be best.

Also, if anyone can turn me on to a good fan site with pics of 18" rims on some 3rd gens? Perferabbly this site will give details on the rim (make/model).

Thanks as always.

Exactly, especially in the archives (make sure your settings are to look at threads from the beginning).

Also, I hope your tire sizes you listed are typos, because they should be 235/45 and 255/40.

There are many 18" wheels that fit on the FD. It won't be an "upgrade" unless you get a light, high quality wheel. With proper sizing and offsets, it's relatively easy to run the tire sizes you are talking about.
