Are there any cons in running 18" alloys on the Clio?

Rogue Platinum Member Nov 22, 2012 #12 Can you run 18's on a lowered car (non-coilies) or would there be too much arch rubbing?
R Riaazc Platinum Member Nov 22, 2012 #13 I'm running Meg225 F1 225/40R18 on my car with H&R 35/40 springs. No arch rubbing at all.
