Running Wide Front Wheels?

I've got a set of 18" alloys to go on my FD when it gets back from being rebuilt. I picked the alloys up for a decent price from a mate who owed me a favour, but I really like them.

Now then they are 9.5" wide with an offset of 30. At the moment my car is running standard suspension. First of all:

1.) Any known issues about fitting wheels of this width to the front of an FD? Spacers etc?

2.) I've got a set of tein coilovers on order, is there any know issues of wheels of this width and coilovers?

You won't have a problem with the suspension. You will have a problem running stock fenders, unless you use like a 225 width tire. Wich IMO is pointless.

Cheers mate thats great, the car has origin front fenders which are 25mm wider than stock.

Was thinking of running either a 235 or 245 front and either 265 or 275 rear.
