Default Saph tyre fitment?

So, with a 6 degree rear beam, will 215/35/18's fit? My current tyres in this size seem ok but I have hardly used the car, heard they are meant to scrub when pushed hard?

Was thinking about a set of R888's, just wondering if the squarer profile will cause problems? It's on comp mos 8x18.

I run 235/40/18 on mine with arch modded. Run 19's in a straight line but they munch on bends.
