Volk Challenge, 18x9 +40 offset...
 
Will they fit and FD? I searched, it's hard to tell, but it doesn't look like they will :( .

They will fit in the rear with no problems. The front on the other hand...... Get a more posative offset. Especially up front. I run 18x8.5 volks TE-37 up front with 255 35 18 inch S-03's and they rubbed like mad. Bend up the fender so i had the fender rolled and i even raised the car a bit but it still touches lightly. The rear i run 18x9.5 with 285 30 18 S-03's and its never rubbed both have +40 offsets. So your very safe in the rear. maybe up front with some skinny tires and stock ride height. but your best bet is more offset like +43 or +44 etc. And this will set the wheel further inboard. you will just have to check clearance on the stock spring. Swapping from Stock 4 inch springs to coilovers with 2.5 inch springs will give you much more room inside so the more + offset wont be an issue and either will fender rub. The fronts are always the issue.

Thanks... I know that some 17's can fit with a +41 offset, so I'm wondering for these specific wheels its a problems or not. It sounds like it is :D. Here they are on e-bay:
