I would NOT go less than a +50 in a 18x9.5 all around, especially up front.

That will not work. I just looked at this fitment for another FD owner and found that the only fitment they have in 18" is:

18x8 and 18x9.5

That's the only good fitment i found. FYI, we are a distributor of Enkei Japan line of wheels. If you're interested send me a PM or email and i'll be glad to reply with fitments and pricing for FD.

+38 on anything larger that a 7.5" wide wheel will rub up front, pretty sure

Just for reference, you should be able to run a +35 8" up front. You're at the limit with that, IMO, but will work. Estimating an average 235/40/18 tire on it.

Not so. I had 8.5" wide Fikses w/ a +37 offset and 245/40-17 tires up front and had no rubbing issues at all. Suspension was H&R Sport springs and Bilstein HD shocks.

they have the rp03's in a 18x9 +40 . . . i made a thread about this earlier I belive the answer was, "coilovers/ rolled fenders, stiff spring rate"
