your going to need a roll and a slight pull to make it work. nothing drastic.
a 225/45 front and 255/45 or 265 in the rear...
heres a pic.. ( i ddnt have a roll/pull on the fenders and no motor)
245/45 front and 275/45 rear

There is always the baseball bat roll. You can do it yourself for the price of the bat. If the paint is heated there is less chance of the paint cracking.
The wheels above stick out too much for my tastes. I like my tire flush with the fender. 18x10 +16 is really going to stick out..

Looks at StarScream's pictures. His pictures don't show a pulled fender, but you can clearly see the wheels are about 1" if not more out of the fenders. You either need a fender pull or over-fenders if you want to make the car fit the wheels. Or, you can leave them out and drive around as some people like that look. 
Personally, I don't see the problem. If you want those wheels, buck up and pull the fenders. It may require a little paint work but that's the price of going aggressive (or making the car fit the wheels).

Or just rock
225/45 front and rear so you get more stretch in the rear.
just do a roll in the rear, run some negative camber, and see if you need to do a pull with 225's in the back. From that point you can see how much room you got and at that point can purchase the 255's if they will fit or just get another pair of 225's.
In all honesty I think you will need to do this on a HOT DAY or HOT ROOM. Since you will be working the whole fender and trying to pull you should keep it warm at all times. I'd prop up some heat lamps and use a heat gun.
The rear fender on the FD will pull out pretty nicely due to its shape. I wouldn't do the "drifter" pull, i'd just basically stretch the whole fender out so it still has factory body lines.
