cosmetically, yes
on track, or completely smooth roads, yes
in the uk, no, no no, no bigger than 17" or you will lose performance

re brake clearance, you can get 356mm discs beneath 17" te37's
generally 343mm is as high as you can go beneath 17's

when i see 18's (or worse, 19's) on a uk road car, i know that car isn't driven hard, but is for posing.
or a mistake has been made...

I have been thinking long and hard on what suits them best.

Overall i came to the conclusion that its 17's 9.5" wide, 18's make them look a bit to high even when slammed.

Its just the offset thats the problem. I think im going to go for 20 offset as im pretty sure you dont need any arch work then.
