Default Comp Mo's

I'm thinking of buying a set of 18" Comp Mo's for my sapph but i'm a bit worried about wheel arch clearance, the front arches have been rolled, rears are standard, does anyone know if these will clear my arches?

Cheers!

Usually alright but you may have to change your suspension set up to coilovers

If you go for white get them painted diamond white like the car,IMO the standard comp white colour makes the cars body work diamond white look grubby/discouloured
