You must have typo on the tyre size. That is totally wrong size, it wont probably even exist.

Also they only offer 18x8 size for the mr118, so you cant get that wheel staggered. As for tyre size 225/40/18 or 235/40/18.

When you go bigger wheels the fender gap looks bigger, even though it is almost the same. Little bit lowering is best solution to remove it.

Also the mr118 18x8 et32 in my opinion needs spacers to rear, because otherwise it's so sunken in. (maybe to front too).

This is where the staggered setup would help, if you don't want to use spacers, because wider rear wheel will fill the wheel housing better if the offset is good. Even though 18x8 with low offset has that same affect

My winter setup is 17x8 et20 front and 17x8 et10 rear with 225/45/17
