First off
Secondly, probably not without rubbing.. If you are at stock ride height and get some wheel spacers it may fit, but its gonna look more outa place then it already does if you are running 18's..

ps.. your best bet is to stick with the 215/35/18 they are the closest to the rite size for close readings in your mileage the 225/40 wil add 2.5 mph meaning when your speedo says 50 your actually goin 52.5 and when you trip says you taveled 1000 miles you have only gone 949.38 not sure how much that matters to u you

they are not real bullet holes, a visual thing done prior to me owning the car.

Mine was called a pig...

Haha yeah, it happens to all of us at one point or another. =)
My car looks the same as it did when I got her, with very few changes. 1 more key line(whole right side... , More clearcoat has pealed, and several dents have been removed. The interior is great though, mint other than the seats. Honestly, I was surprised the interior was as nice as it was when I got the car... the exterior was beat up.
