You can have 17" Monza's over R32 brakes so yes dependent on the spoke design of the wheel, but i would say 90% yes  :smiley:

Over the top mod list ;o)

18 x 8 should give a further 3mm inner clearance and stick out a further 15mm, that's based on an OE wheel being 7.5j et51, so an easy fit.  :happy2:
