Not really going to fit even with 215/35/18's, 17's need arch mods also they will look too big.

I run 17" RS6's and at first i had 215/40's on there but it rubbed. The solution (avoiding  archwork) was to downsize to 195/40's and I havent had any trouble since. I think 18's are a bridge too far in terms of looks AND practicality...

Put them on ebay, they'll sell in no time.  I sold a set of 18" RS6 replica's in a 5x112 fitting and got almost £400 for them.  That was with damage to the wheels and not great tyres...

I run 17s without arch mods...
