Would 5mm spacers up front cause rubbing issues?
It should be right where the fender will be unless you manage to add some more negative camber up front.

I was thinking 215/45/18 up front and 225/40/18 out back. Am I still going to need to pull my fenders or run an ungodly amount of camber to get those tires under there? I'd really rather not if I can avoid it.
18's all around for S13 can really only be pulled off if you have aero. 225/40 all around will work. Assuming that you want a functional alignment, yes, you will have work with your fenders and run some negative camber. For the rears, you will need a pull. The fronts you will have to hammer the inner fender & depending on your camber settings, you will need to hammer those lips.

Should have gone with 17's. It requires less work to make them look good. Trade a pair for 17's if you have to.
