Default The wheel question...

My question is about fitting some 8x18 et30 or 35 rims on a saff 4x4. I have heard now so many differnt things about it what to do/mod to make them fit.
Because with the original springs it wont work, cos the front wheels touches the spring and fit spacers make them come too far out even with skinny 215/35 on it.
Some said it will only work with coilovers to get enough space between the spring and rim or will an aftermarket spring/damper kit like koni will do the job as well? Or is there another way to make them happen?
