NO, you need spacers (~7/16") and longer studs to accomodate them (ARP ones meant for late model Camaro/Corvette fit) and you need to do a search next time.

No, You wont need spacers. That chart is just a guesstimate, not factual. I just put 18x7.5 +45 wheels on my 7 and they fit great. i used 225/40 tires. No rubbing at all, even on hard turns/bumps.

Coilovers?

That adds a whole new dimension to the equation and gives more room on the inside.
