I think the 205/35/18 Tyre is available to buy now. I know it has been on the cards for some time. It is an OE tyre for the Mk2 V6 Clio, but I think that it is made by Toyo also, which means I would be able to supply it. Wouldn't be the nicest of tyres in terms of comfort, but for someone wanting to put 18's on an RST, the furthest thing from your mind is comfort.

18's go on but you need to do lots of cutting and trimming. go for a focus off set. i'v got 7.5x 18's with 215/35x18's. they are a 38mm offset. the rear arches have been folded up and flared out as far as poss.
they still catch on arch just above where it meets bumper.
