No chance they will fit with 225's, even with 215/35's you going to need major work and they still can end up hitting the beam.

Has been done. E38 boys. Looked sh!t, apparently drove like a train and driveshaft went. Dunno if it's related with the driveshaft though.

18's on a mk3 have been done well before some guy on E38 broke a driveshaft. In a modern sense with stance in mind it hasn't been done much but there are a few in America and some more in Germany and Belgium who have pulled them off spectacularly. I'm sure I posted some pictures of more recent ones last time the topic of 18's on mk3s came up.

Still look wrong / too big on a mk3 to be honest.
