18's on a saph
18's can go on saffs and it has been done to accomodate massive brake kits, to get the best result i'm told that the arches do need attention in the way of a roll, a coilover suspension kit is also needed to give the ride height adjustment thats required, it also looses the big cup/flange that comes on the standard struts as this fouls if you put 18's on the car,

As above,will fit 
Haven't noticed any difference to the driveability/handling,just the cats eyes feel alot harder
Front arches need a bit rolling,only catch at the front of wing if you are turning and brake or go up a lowered kerb etc
Don't need coil overs
,and don't touch the spring cup on front struts either
Obviously need correct offset,and mine are 215/35 18's

Had 19s on mine for a while
They were 7x19 fitted with 215/35/19. Coilovers and front arches rolled and liners removed. Only rubbed on back lower edge of front arches when braking really hard. As said above not much different to 17's. Only changed as i couldn't fit a 19 in the spare wheel well.
