I have coilovers on mine, and rolled arches, but i think its not needed to drive 18"..

I have 8x18 MO's with ET 35, and 10mm spacer at front and 15mm spacers at rear wheels..

mines is droped 40mm on gmax shocks and springs so would think that the spring cup ma need modifyin for the 18" to fit in,

ave had to put a 10mm spacer on the back of mine the now as the wheel was rubbin on the rear inner arch,
