You have mentioned the diameter and width of the wheels you are looking to fit but not the offset or ET. It is the offset/ET that makes the biggest difference with regards to fitment and filling arches etc. What is the ET?

Typical forum drama lama.  You seem like such a pleasant Geordie ... oops Smoggie... opps Makem.

Offset is 45.

18x8.5 ET45 will be perfect on your car. It will give you perfectly flush fitment essentially. I am running Rotiform wheels in an 18x8.5 ET45 spec on my GTD and they fit really nice. I am running 225/40-18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres too which give a very slight stretch on the 8.5 and a little more clearance. I've done the fender/liner screw mod too just in case. Good luck with the new car

Cheers dude, same tyres as I've ordered too.

Ordered a few other things too, front splitter from Germany, GENUINE Akrapovic carbon Fibre exhaust tips from Germany not the knockoffs, new red GTD badging for the wings and front.

Also pre-ordered a cool personal plate for it too.

I'll uploads pics of the bits as they arrive

Nice one. I did the opposite on the badges - deleted the whole lot! I prefer a clean, less is more look myself and hate chrome.
