Default HELP!!! 18x8 comps on 2wd saph fitment

Hi, just bought a nice set of comps in 18x8 et39 and the question is will they fit ok with 215/35 18 tyres and would i need any type of spacer as I've seen that the odder most people run is 33-35. Also what tyres would people recommend for road use? Thanks

Just put mk1 focus 8x18 alloys on my 2wd to clear the brakes running 215/35/18 tyres, offset is 42 or something, fit fine plenty of clearance but might need arches rolling on the front.
I use toyo proxes T1R tyres, have for years, good value too
