It's useless without offsets.
If you have access to them, you can measure "backspacing"...

I checked my 2003 Nippon Racing (same company as Tenzo R), and they don't list an 18" RS5 explicitly - they only have a 17" version listed.
Most of the other model rims show a 18" x 7.5" +45mm offset.
This is kinda tight, so it might or might not work on your FC.
Expect to run some small spacers if it doesn't clear up front.

Tight as in close to brake and suspension components. The greater the offset, the closer the inside rim is to the suspension. The smaller the offset, the further out towards the fender the wheel is. Hope that makes sense.

Oh, btw, yeah, 45mm is kinda close (too big of an offset), the stock wheels are 40mm. With a 7.5" wide rim, I would stick with something at least 35mm in offset.
