HI,

After some debating, im thinking of changing my alloys.

I am running some 215/35/18 rims, all is OK. Some slight rubbing when the car is full in the bak with heavy peepz.

Thinking of getting some kei force 10s, top gear do them but in this : 225/40/18.

Now will that cause a problem ? Or should they be OK

Arches have all been cut up etc, few pics in my garage of how it looks now. its not on any aftermarket suspension, but i cant lower it anymore due to my front bumper

Plz advise

If your current wheels rub, then these definitely will. Probably due to the extra width, but if not, then definitely due to the profile of the tyre, with it being 29mm extra in diameter, which will cause the speedo to be out loads.
