i had 18x10 in the rear of my fd . with a 275/35/18. and it it fine .. i could even have went with the 285 if i wanted ..

its all about the offset.

stock springs are 4" diameter. You need coilovers with 2.5" springs to fit a larger rim/tire combo.

You can fit an 18x10.5 up front max with stock fenders and rolled lips (285/30/18 tire) and an 18x11 out back (305/18 tire) with perfect offset. That size is complete overkill on the street. ie custom rims ($2200+) Most people run 18x10 +50mm all around with 285/30/18's for track use on the FD (ie autox or road racing).
