Will 18X7.5 with 40mm offset work on my fd?

I'm going to buy some rims for my fd I was just wondering if 18X7.5 with a 40mm offset is to thin to run on my fd? And will the 40mm offset work?

Thanks

I think they will work...but you are going the wrong way IMO.

I know thicker is better, but I'm buying them used from a friend. I currently am on all spares , Is that what your referring to, because I'll lose some handling???

Well...it is certainly better than all spares! If you are on a budget...find some stock 16s. The tires for 18s alone will kill you when you have to buy them later.

Please don't do that to your FD. It isn't a Civic. And what do you mean you are driving on all spares???

As xchaos suggested, you can typically pick up a set of used stock rims for $400 or so, sometimes even with tires. If you can't afford that, I suggest moving on to a different vehicle.
