They should fit no bother neeb, at worst you might need a set of spacers....
Just watch your arches if your going low lol. 215/35 tyres would help too.

ET35 is the ideal offset iirc and 18s handle crap tbh.. 17's look and handle way better imo

I would disagree on that (Handling) .. feels fine on road and track (8x18" et33 225/35)

35 is ideal offset for a saph, 18' s seemed alright on my saff,did not feel much different from the 17's.
