Question Will 18" Alloys fit?

Hello,
Title says it all! Car is a 97 Sport, lowered 30mm on Eibach springs. Will I need the arches rolled and will there be any scrubbage?
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you.

Should be ok, just dont go too big on the tyre and make sure the wheels are the correct offset

Hi mate got 18`s on my my/oo turbo they actually caught on back arches before it was lowered so be careful with offset and no wider than 215 tyres,have had to take rubber trim off back arches and trim approx 5mm off arch and re-seal,now it doesnt catch at all though is very close.Front has never caught so cant see a problem with urs on the front and car is now lowered approx 45mm with koni adjustable inserts,wheels are team dynamics k2`s

215/35's a 7.5 inch rim and an offset of ET53 will be fine. Get the offset too close to ET45 or ET48 and it may be getting close. 8 inch and a 225/35 will also be close even with an ET50+ offset.
