Yes you'll need them rolled for sure, i have 17s and they rubbed very slightly on 215s so 18s will defo catch.

what offset mate?

i had 8x18's et33 and the fronts had to be cut right back,,

the rears were fine

you'll get away with 215/35's on the front, 225/40's on the back and you'll need to do a tiny amount of trimming
