so i shouldnt be looking at pulling/rolling the arches? i don't really want to go down that route if i can help it.
A 225/40 tyre was what i was thinking of using so nothing wide tyre wise.

i've got 18x8 et 35 on my hawkeye and they fit a treat - no rubbing and they fill the arches perfectly.
hope it helps?
