Yes, 18x8.5 ET30 is fine.
edit: See below. I was thinking to myself 38 would probably fit better.

The front will stick out a lot without a lot of camber to bring the top in.
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44291 Here's a +38. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12927 |

If you want it to poke a little more, +30. But I'd say +38. Don't go +45. You'll rub inner fender if you plan to lower.

Thanks for pic links @gramicc101, front 30 is aggressive poke. Maybe 38 front rear 30 better fitment.
I don't know anything about camber truly. I like a little poke or that flush look. Just don't want to rub anywhere. I would like drop her down 1.5"max 2" one day. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk |

Camber is important. It's one of the settings that dictates how your car is going to handle. Here's some good info.

@gramicci101 thanks again on info. Cam bolts seems like easy 1st step, added it2 list. Just still undecided on aggressive front et30 or 38.
@paiceyfan you know it,lol @Stang70Fastback feel like I'm probably heading same direction. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk |

If you're buying 4 of the same wheel, just get them all ET38 so that you can rotate the wheels/tires.
Or all ET30 if you really want it to poke out in front.
