I got the same rims on my fd, but the gold ones. I love the style and the rear deep dish How much did you pay for them? I paid 2400 including tires. Get some pics on your car!

A lot of people said it won't look good, but I think it looks awesome! Also it looks differrent out in the street because I haven't seen this color combo. Just something different that catches peoples eye!!!

I think there is plenty of room in the back. The front concerns me a little.

As for the rear, these are an old set of Gewalts I had in 18x10 +44 with 285/30/18 Pirelli Pzeros (in the rear). The tire sidewall was dead flush with the fender edge, such as if you dropped a plumb line down the edge. A 18x10 +38 would sit 6mm outward in comparison, all things being equal.
With very mild lowering (1" Rod Millan springs, though it seemed more like 1/2"-3/4" after they went on), factory street spec camber settings, and no fender lip roll, there was a slight 'snick' every blue moon (when I got a little carried away hehe).
Not trying to be alarmist, but hopefully you'll find this useful when you pick out tires. FWIW, the Pirellis PZeros (the original Assims) had a much more 'square' sidewall compared to the Dunlop SP9000s I have now (which are very rounded). The Dunlops or a similar profile tire might buy you the clearance you need. Since you can get them at cost, I'd just get some 285/30/18s to try out and - if they don't work - you can easily sell without losing anything.

I just mounted a wheel on the front with no tire. Its close, but looks like it will work. The SO-3s have kind of a rounded side wall so I think it will help. I really want the 255/35 to keep the overall diameter as close to stock as possible. Interesting thing I just noticed, the casting where the wheel bolts to the hub is very thick. If I have to I could get a machine shop to shave of a couple mm, which would give the wheel more offset.

245/35/18 = 24.75" theoretical diameter
255/35/18 = 25.02" theoretical diameter
225/50/16 = 24.86" theoretical diameter
Actual diameters vary however, check tire manufacturers' specs on their respective websites or on Tirerack's. for example, an observation is that Pirelli Pzero Rosso's generally run tall. 25.2" diameter is given for their 255/35/18 for example (their 285/30/18 is listed as 25.2" as well). It appears that they're phasing the original PZeros out, but they still list the PZero Asimmetrico 285/30/18 having a 24.9" diameter as a comparison.
