Will they fit...with a lttle persuasion and work

Noo. 18" look too big. Get the right style off wheel and 17" look perfect.
Also you can then put a proper tyre size on it and actually drive the car how it's meant to be driven.

This is 18x9.5 et 38 with that stretched 225/35/18. Arches rolled and pulled to the max. Still rubs I'm told.

I actually preferred his previous wheels a which where 17x9 et45 with 245/40/17 tyres. Similar to what I run.

Still very very tight.

Also think about inner clearance too. There isn't much.

No question imo either, that in the comparison pics above, those 17" 'fit' the car better, but, it's not our opinion that matters of course.

Raggagirl runs 18" too (no idea on offset, I have no memory for such things!). She has problems with tyre rub everywhere and tyres being eaten, but she likes the look, so that's what she's stuck with.
