Just wondering if 18" wheels are too big for my puma or will they rub etc cheers

215/35 18's are only 30mm larger in diameter than std 195/50 15's.It depends if the cars lowered a lot, theres a body seam on the top of the front arches that id imagine would be where you'd get contact, that said nothing to stop you knocking the seam over horizontally to gain a bit.

you need to watch what offset the wheels are,et34 is std,anything with less track(et40)will understeer badly,i fitted et37,and really noticed a difference til i spaced back to et34.I havent tried a wider track,but others have,and there are mixed opinions
You do realise 18's will make your car slower to accelerate?I fitted 16's but use 40 profiles ,so the diameter is smaller than std.
