Gaz you can run 225 35 18's on the rear with 215's on the front. Just make sure your front arches are rolled mate.

215 35 18 are shocking i found, car rode like a piece of shit and cracked the wheels due to no give, i now run 205-40-18 and its a massive difference, and they dont scrub now!
Only issue is you are very limited on what tyres you can get in that size.

Wong, any pics of the wheels and that tyre size, must look very stretched, I'm going to order four shortly and was going for 4 215/35/18s Yokohama parada as they don't do 225/35/18

Cheers fella, I think that extra ten mm just fits the wheel so much better, I don't mind a little bit of stretch but that's a lil bit too much

Yeah, its not too bad in the flesh, that pic makes it look pretty stretched!
As i say, it drove like a bag of wank on 215 35's, and they scrubbed.
Think i need to go wider rear now though!
