Sketchy: Will the Gt3's fit?

Alright, I keep turning over in my head whether the SSR Gt3's will fit on my FD.

The sizes of the rims are:
18x8.5 up front with a 37mm offset, and
18x10 out back with a 41mm offset.

My car has tokico illumina 5 way adjustables and i plan on putting eibach springs from my old car that'll lower it by about an inch.

Now Tirerack's "recomended" tires are:
235/40 front
265/35 rear

Now lemme explain my last car which will then get into why im so concerned.

Last car was bought with a gorgeous set of Racing Hart C2's:
18x8 front 42offset 235/40
18x9.5 rear 45offset 275/35
Stock shocks, eibachs....

That car rubbed terribly when entering parking lots and anything steep. Both front fenders were pulled out which makes me very concerned about the gt3. This time I would most likely run 35 height all around and I would likely wish to run 285/35 outback, but it is beyond me how this will fit with the offsets tire rack offers. I question whether even the recomended tires would make it.

So the question is what do you guys think? Also will rolling the fenders ::Sigh:: do the trick. Much appreciated.

I have that setup on my car, but with 255's in front and 285's in back. The 235/265 combo is a little taller tire height than the 255/285 which is stock height. I rolled my front fenders and have had no problems with the rears, but My car isn't lowered yet.

Here's some pics

Thanks...I enjoyed the last pic most. What does your bad-*** 20b have to do with GT3's? I have no clue but it doesn't matter, bad *** car man! Super Sleeper.
