Yup no probs, or you could fit, 225 40 18's

Thanks for that Ron, the arches are quite roomy but the shocks do travel
quite a bit esp if carrying passengers, thought best to check first.
18",...it would take me 1/2 hour to park incase I kerbed them! Cheers Ron,
Rog.

You could even go 235 x 30/35 19 might get a hint of rub, but should be
ok, look at the J of the wheels you are getting, 7-8j is normally what you
would get in 17" - 18", 19" 8j wheels are rare i think, you start getting
into the wide wheels at 19"
