Has anyone fitted 18's on their car, and if so what modifications do you have to make any?

Pics or anything would help too

Cheers

wouldn`t bother mate. ive got 17`s and they took a bit off adjustment to fit perfectly. wouldn`t like to do it again. 18`s would be worse

would look like its on stilts as u would'nt be able to lower it that much, plus they'd rub on your inner arches so wouldn't be able to get full lock

Can't see the point at all, personally wouldn't fit anything over 15's.

But imagine a hell of a lot of arch work would have to be done... even then you'd still be rubbing with peeps in the back i'd guess.

Thanks for your posts guys

Wellsy; Don't spose you got any pics of your kit, im gettin the V2 kit but im doin a lotta work to it to make it even more one off.

As for the rubbin on the inside wheel arches, the arch liners are coming out, 50mm spacers are being put on, and the 18's are only 7.5J so their not a lot wider than a normal 17" wheel
