Anyone done it? Did you need to roll out the arches?

225/35-18's are darn close to the back near the strut. I guess with the right offset and a roll they'd squeeze on but your speedo will be out.

I had 225/35/18 on mine (MY99) and they rubbed on the rear arches with one person in the back so I changed them to 215/35/18 and six months on they still haven't rubbed on the arches even with three people in in the back.

Got 225x35x18 on P1 alloys and needed a 3mm spacer to stop the rubbing in the rear, running no problems now even with load or hard cornering, although potholes on corners make an interesting noise in the rear
