Enkei Rp03 fitment

Does the Enkei RP 03 will fit on my fd on 18x8 off set 40? (will run 245\30\18 or 235\40\18)
For the rear i guess no problem with 18x9-1\2 off set 38
If i take for the front 18x8-1\2 will i be able to run without problem 225-40-18 or 235\40\18??
Onestly the problem is for the front wheel, i don't know wich size take
Any suggestions?
You may consider this option http://www.enkei.co.jp/en/p_detail_rp03_pri.html
Thanks and Regards

Pretty much the 18x8 +40 is your only workable option up front. 235/40 would be the best tire choice. If you rolled your front fenders, you may be able to run that 18x9 +40 with a 245/35 or 255/35 tire.

Are you sure will not be better to run the front with 18x8-1\2 off set +35 and tyre 235\40??
According to the program posted here https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-wheels-tires-brakes-20/fd-wheel-tire-sizing-416251/ i will have better clearence with 18x8-1\2 +35

Please explain why you think a wider wheel with a lower offset is going to fit better?

Jim's spreadsheet, for the 20-billionth time, shows the LOWEST offset available with the STOCK suspension. Not necessarily the RECOMMENDED offset, just the LOWEST.

If you are lowered at all, you will be eating that fender lip for lunch with a 18x8.5 +35 235/40. Guaranteed.

It's OK, a lot of people make that mistake. Yes, an 18x8 +40 with a 235/40 should fit great.
