Guys I would like to buy wheels and I am looking at a set that is:

18x8.5
18x9.5

Offset is 35mm front and rear

Do you know if that will work for a stock body fd?

Are you going to modify fenders in anyway? (I.E: Pull +/or Roll ).

How do you want your fitment? Aggressive or Standard?

What size and compound tire do you want use?

yes i would probably roll the fenders. Maybe even pull if necessary. I like the aggressive look. Thinking of using 235/40/18 front and 255 or 265/35/18 in the rear perhaps...

would 275 in the rear fit??

A 255/40 on a 9.5 wheel would be pretty square (not stretched or balloonish). If you don't mind stretching, you can run a 245 which is right in between.

275 (In my opinon) is too big, unless you don't mind the tire balooning (but that's not really that aggressive of a look). It's more for a purpose setup (drag, or some kind of racing). A lot of this depends on the tire manufacturer as well. Dunlops and Toyos don't like to stretch as nice, but Falkens like to stretch easier and nicer (if that is your cup of tea).

I have seen people run 10 wides front and rear on an FD, and it was not that "aggressive". Maybe it was because the offset was too high.

Only way to really tell is to rack up the car and measure it.

Must have been, because that's a lot of meat even for these.

My FD has 18x9.5 with 38mm offset front and rear.

All tires are Kumho V710 285/30/18 (autox)

The only thing required to make them fit was rolling the fenders.

You can go even bigger in back, but 285 looks to be as big as you can go in front without getting wider fenders.
