I don't know anyone who's done it w/o rolling the fenders, or run into rubbing issues.

It's been done. I'm sure that George will chime in on this as he's the one with 18's on his fox Saleen. I do know that he's running 8.5in. all the way around.

I run 18x8.5 with a 245/40 on the front and 18x9.5 with a 275/35 on the back on my 88. All fenders are rolled. Only rubbing in the front is the fender liner when hard on the brakes or a hard corner. Back has slight rubbing with 2 people in the car on big bumps. It is easily done with the right offset/backspacing. Just need to measure. Heres a pic:
