18's

[GTsI]

Good morning to ya all!!!

 

Just seen a set of 18" for a very reasonable price, is there much work on running 18 (how much of the arch will have to be chopped out etc). I know that 7 x 17" will fit straight on without any problems so what about 7.5 x 18" running 215 / 35 / 18 tyres????

 

Also the car will be running custom made coilovers so the spring cups will be narrower.

 

Any help ???

I have spoken to someone the other day and he said it'll be a right pain to get them to fit with coilover because of the spring cups??

 

How much chaffage is there?
