225 will fit on 7.5 to approx 9" wide wheels. Can't see issues putting them on 18x7.5j with 45 offset.

Many thanks for the swift reply. I wanted a second opinion before I start to spend!

Can some one be kind enough to confirm these will accommodate 225R18 tyres? Ronal R42 7,50x18 5x112.00 ET45.00

I have PP car so also need to be sure they will clear the larger  brake calliper. A 8.0 width is also available. Would they be ok? 7.5 are a slightly cheaper option.

Thanks.

I'll be running 7.5 X 17" wheels this winter, with 225 tyres on a PP and they fit ok, I've tried them out during this summer - one thing to think of, 17"  winter tyres are cheaper than 18"

Definitely would advise getting winter tyres..A lot safer in wet/greasy conditions

Sure you will find them an even match for Contis and Michelins.

Which ones did you go for WR A3, D3 or D4?

Just had my BBS sr alloys and dunlop winter 5s fitted. Can anyone confirm what tyre pressure is suitable. Is it the same as a summer/ normal tyre. I have the owners manual but too cold to use it!
