    How about feckloads. assuming it's a 3 door (easier on 5 doors and saloons )

    What width are your new 18's coz thats gonna be a major factor.

    Your probably gonna need your arches stretched and pulled to within an inch of their life.

    Wouldn't it have been better to ask these questions before buying the wheels?

    the car is a 3 door

    to get the 17's on all i did was tap up the front and rear arches and then hit some of the rear arch in with a mallet where it was rubbing, they were a et45 offset 7.5mm wide

    the new wheels a thinner than the 17's, there only 7" wide but im sorry but i wont reveal the name of the wheel to you cause theyre not supposed to be on the market yet (got them direct from dealer via a friend) there a et45 aswell
