18x8.5 +38, 18x 9.5 +43

I have an eibach pro kit on the fd and was looking at some 5zigen wheels, would these work? I was told they would rub up front

That is a pretty low offset for the fronts, especially with the Eibachs. You should most likely roll the fenders to prevent catching the tire on the lip.

An adjustable coilover system should do the trick, but instead of going through that unneeded expense, why not just get the front wheels in a higher offset?
