Smile 18 inch alloys

Thinking about putting some 18 inch alloys on my sapphire cosworth. Will these fit straight on as i dont want to do any work to the arches?

Thanks Mark

Ideal size and fitment is : 8x18 wheel with a 35mm offset (ET35).

If you use 215-35-18 tyres you shouldn't have any problems unless car is lowered alot when you may need to have front arches rolled.
