16's is probably a safer bet though and will look better depending on what sort of look you are after

yes, technically you can fit 18's on.
you have to be specific to whether you are going to be lowering, or fitting a kit etc.

I assume you want large wheels in which case you will need to modify the arches to increase clearance inside.
18s will fit but you need very small tyres and probably some suspension mods to reduce travel, and you won't remove contact completely.
17s are the better option but lowered the right amount to look OK they will still cause you problems.
Its not as simple as just bolting on the biggest wheels that will go on. You need bodywork and suspension alterations for it to come together. Otherwise it will look like an off roader.

Maybe 40mm.
If you want big wheels you need to lower the car so speed humps are going to get less pleasurable but look on the bright side - the car will look good going slowly over them

I have exactly the same arches and suspension as I had when I ran 16" wheels as I do now with my 18" wheels... The 18s have 35 profile tyres though

Did have the car lowered 60mm before with the 18's for a while, now it's back on the 40mm springs...

Ian - how about this set up - 40mm drop on coilovers (FK Highsport) and i am thinking of getting 17" but its so hard to find the right set off wheels
i been told et45 would be just right. what offset you recommend that wont need much/any body mods?
anyone know the offset of these? plus what you think of them
