18X8.5 +45 and 18X9.5 +55

Will it work on the FD? The tires sizes are 225/40/18 and 265/35/18. Someone is selling a used set for a great deal, so I'm thinking about picking it up if it fits. I'm concerned about the rear offset being too high... Thanks in advance.

Thanks. What is the thickest spacer I can use in the rear without having to install longer studs?

I use a 5mm spacer at the rear for my track wheels, and the first time I did I ruined two studs. I got a set of new lug nuts with an extended shank that go about 3/8" into the lug hole past the acorn... problem solved. No long studs.

That rear might rub the trailing arm, especially if it's the stock one.

The lug nuts are great idea. Where can I get them?
