Yes. Perfect fit. Standard size would be 225/40. Lowering is springs, coilovers or air. Depends what you want?

how low could I go on 18s would I need spacers etc if it was to go on coilovers instead of springs, ive always had springs about 30-40mm I was thinking ?

18x8j wheels fit in the archs easily. You shouldnt catch unless you insanely low or have a car full of people. No spacers required. Decide on which coilovers you want as some go lower than others

Have a look through the readers ride area. There are loads of lowered cars in there on 18s
