Will this size work on an FD ? sorry to ask :(

I have read thru the chart that is posted above, but they are a few mm off from the recommended size.

Can I run
Front 18x9.5 +44
Rear 18x10.5 +44

Stock body, 265s up front 295s rear.

Chart suggests +50 ... but I really want these wheels Can it work ?

You could jam them in there...fender rolling and running a reasonable ride height would be required. It will be very tight at both front and rear though. Proper tire sizes would be 265/35 and 295/30.

EDIT -- Just to be a little more conservative -- this is an extreme fitment, so don't come back crying if you still get occasional rubbing even with fender rolling.

you could stretch a 245 or 255 on the front and use 275 tire on the rear and you'd rub less, but I would rather just get wheels that fit right.
