    i cant see a problem being irs. Just check the camber once installed. Stick with a narrow tyre first up maybe just to see if the scrub and if you wanna go fatter later you can.

    more to the point, what size rims and what size tyres are you thinking about / looking at?

    18's will fit fine on the front as long as you dont have a massive profiled tyre. the biggest downfall with going bigger rims is matching correctly rated tyres to your car. most ppl overlook this and get defected.
