7"x18" are really limited on choices, and by looking at some ranges, they do 7x19 more than 18's. Just wondering whether they fit (7.5x18)?

you wont get 7.5x18s on without ultra stiff suspension and just a 40mm drop. Your best bet would be either a set of 17s, or if you really want 18s, team dynamics do some 7.0x18 wheels ET45.

Enquiring some wheels today and was offered some good bargins, which includes then advertsing on my car , and found a few tasty wheels which r 7" wide and et45. Only need to cut the rear arch which is easy peasy.

You need to do more than just trim the rear arches mate, when mine was dropped 40mm on 18's it used to rub on the inner arch to, need to have it cut away and then welded again( Both rear quarters will need painting.) 18's look silly unless it is slammed in my opinion, that is why i dropped mine 60 at the back and 75 at the front, looks like a tractor other wise
