   if its rubbing on the 17's then its bound to be a bit worse with the 18s. have you done any arch work ? it may just be a case of cutting some of the liners out.

   fuel filler will need relocated or modified unless your going to be running 40mm spacers

   think you'll have to modify or move the windscreen washer bottle which is in the o/s/f wheel arch.

   never seen that car b4 hubcentric spacers would work but have fun finding the extended bolts needed for 40mm
