Yes, but watch the tyre size.  235 would be okay and maybe 245.  What diameter are they?

235 will rub if it's anything like an A3

They'll be 18s, i'll be trying a few tyre sizes to see which sits the best.

I run 9.5J with an offset of 46 with a little rubbing on the outside of the arches when running the suspension low. As long as your ride height is sensible you shouldn't have any problems

Use this to see how they will sit in comparison to the standard
