    Default Fitting 18X10 on my R32

    Right I have got myself a set of Rota grids in 18X10 ET15 flavour. I want to fit them to my currently standard arched R32. How hard is this going to be? I obviously know it will require a good flair on the arches, as I don't want to fit overfenders, but will I be able to get enough? Also my rear arches are minty mint at the mo so although I dont mind flaring them I REALLY dont want to ruin paint or anything if it can be avoided. I suppose heating them up first would help wouldn't it?

    I was thinking of running a 225/40/18 (maybe even 225/35/18 for the front?) tyre which should supply be with a nice bit of stretch.

    Any help or advice?

    You will get them on but it will require a lot of flaring for defo....! Leave the flaring to someone who knows what there at if ya don't wanna ruin paint.....! But this will look the shit when finished......!
