I would say no, i didn't actually drive my car with them fitted but as you can see they do protrude a bit. Mine are ET25 with 215/40/17 tyres


and the front

I'd say they'll rub James. Mark had to roll his rear for 8x18s on an ET35. Forget about the rears though - they'll absolutely mangle the front arches lol

James,I would say it's a no from me,the et is just not right,almost near the escos offset,they will rub for sure,especially when you put the power down and the car squats.
They will rub on a 3dr aswell,guaranteed.


Thanks.Lee.

its all a tad confusing paul,i never rolled my rears on 8x18 et 33,the front is where the trouble is
