Given an infinite number of monkeys and an infinite number of typewriters, one of those monkeys would eventually type the Encyclopedia Britannica 
On a serious note, of course you can put 18's on it.

Super easy to figure out. Go to Brembos website and download/print out template of our specific caliper. Cut it out with scissors and insert it into back of the wheel you're considering. It'll show whether or not the caliper can clear the wheel. Easy like weasey. If you're ordering wheels then just email them the template for them to cut it out themselves. I've done this numerous times

I don't think this is possible in the front without some really odd wheels (e.g. two or three piece). Just not enough caliper clearance. I tried to find wheels that would fit, but finally gave up.
No problem in the rear.
I'd love to know if someone finds a way to fit 18s in the front.

Update:
Test fitted a set of 18" from VMR onto the RC-F. Clears inner barrel well, but the outer barrel tapers and does not fit even with a 20mm spacer. We are looking into different options and will be testing out a few other designs here specifically for track guys. On another note, possibly looking into running a square setup to ease the cost of staggered tire costs. 18 x 9.5 all around with a 275/40 18 tire. Street setup would be about the same.

To clarify, we test fitted our Flow Formed V810 in 18x9.5 ET45. We attempted to see if there was enough barrel clearance after adding a 20MM spacer (barrel tapers further within the wheel). Though, did not have any success.
All things considered, we should have an 18" "track oriented" setup available for the RC-F community soon. Our next 18" Flow Form wheel to release is designed, specifically, to provide enough caliper clearance for the F80/F82 M3/M3 and RC-F platforms
