The wheels will fit. However, you will need lower profile tires. 225/40/18 and 265/35/18 would work.

My guess is that the ET52 rear will be mighty close to the oil pipe in the right rear wheel well and you should check it carefully before any serious driving. I'd be very tempted to put a 5mm spacer on the rears just to be sure of the clearance. Cars do seem to vary a little so it's worth the check first.

Ilko is spot on with the tyre sizes.

Regards

Dave
