Actually if you use the right tire you might get away with it. On my last FD I had 18x8 with 28mm offset in the front with 225 tires on stock not rolled fender. Never rubbed.

Fenders (where they'll rub) are on the outside of the wheel. Coilovers are on the inside of the wheel. I suppose you can adjust the ride height way up high so that they don't rub. If you roll your fenders, you should be ok with that fitment, depending on tire sizes.

I'm sure if he ran some 235/35/18 with 275/30/18's he would be fine...something like that.
