what u guys think ? worth it ? would they fit straight on ?

I think they look ugly ... But that is just me ...

Well, they are 5x114.3 which would fit, but you should look at the offset also ... I am not too sure what offset would be best but one of the guys here may be able to tell you ...

Is there any reason that you want to go 18"s ... Personally my choice on an FTO is 17" ... 18" and above is something that I would put on cars like commodores, falcons, and 1j powered Cressida's ....
