I'm running 8x18" on my P100 and have had to have the fronts rolled and slightly stretched with coilovers on a 65mm drop.
Cost me £40 to have the arches sorted so not a massive expense to be fair and for the look it's definitely worth doing.

My P100 has 4x4 x member, tca's, arb and steering rack with 4x4 cosworth coilovers so no I won't get et25 on, I had some serious hed scratching before I decided to get the arches done.
I will try to get some pictures up of the truck up but having problems with my phone uploading pictures to my laptop at the moment.

They'll go on fine. Escos rims are 8J ET25 and they go on no probs.
The rolling radius will only be slightly more with them being 18s

If you have fresh paint on it mate you should have no worries about the paint cracking when the arches are rolled, mine didn't and that was on 6 year old paint.

As I said, the rolling radius is practically the same if you fit the right tyres.
18" wheels aren't 2" taller than 16" wheels in reality when tyres are fitted

ET42 is horribly skinny
