Not without spacers, sure we have had this conversation before. ET25 minimum, anything with a higher number means it is further towards the middle of the car and thus the brake calipers. |

Yeah I know but that was for narrower tyres than 225's, would they be rubbing off the coilovers? Thanks but roughly what mil spacers would you need? thanks |

225's are what all of us with 18's run. Don't rub on mine. Mine is effectively ET5 which is virtually flush to the arches. If you want that kind of look you are looking at 30/35mm spacers pretty much. Otherwise 13mm to get it back to stock. I think once you get to 15mm they go up in 5's usually. |

Wire rims look good, but are a pig to clean. I toyed with them for my Rover 75 as I thought that style of rim would complement the classic look of the car quite well (plus I knew people with 75s who had already done it, so had the benefit of a real-world example to work from, but the maintenance needed to keep them looking good put me off the idea. |
