I run my 128 on Breyton GTS-R's in sizes 18x7.5 and 18x8.5, with tire size 225/40 in front and 255/35 in rear. It's perfect, never any rubbing. Biggest advantage though is the light weight of these wheels, especially on a 128. Car is "light on its feet" and nimbler everywhere. These wheels appear to be more than a few pounds lighter than just about everything out there. Not cheap but worth it.

i have breyton gts-r 18x8.5 with 245/35 tires all around. you have to use spacers in front but they work great and improve EVERYTHING about the drive.
