Default 9x18 Comp MO's

will 9x18 comp mo's fit an escort cosworth with normal struts and springs or will they only fit with coilovers?

thanks

Dave

I use to run a 235/40/18 on my old Azev A's with koni springs and shocks, they were a Et25 and 8.5 wide had the spring cup modded(with a big hammer) to clear on the front.
