Update : I went and fitted 4x new 265/35/18’s on the style 224 9j rims and had them fitted to the car. Still have to go and buy paint to have all the rims redone. I think I’ll try a new colour next time.
Then the spacers arrived from the US.
I was happy with the quality and they are very lightweight.
I Couldn’t wait to have them fitted so I got the rear in the air and installed them
Once that was done , I lowered the car and double checked I was happy with the fitment

Went for a test drive and came back, all good , no rubbing against the front arches. Put the car back up and removed the rims.
I then took the 4 rims and tires and washed them with APC and a scrubbing brush to remove any chemicals/oils or release agent used when manufacturing the tires . Once they had dried, I brought them inside to apply the rubber treatment on all the tires.
Before rubber treatment
Applied Mothers tire care rubber treatment
Tire absorbing the rubber treatment
After two generous coats of rubber treatment
Rims were then fitted on the car, I wanted the two silver rims in front and the gunmetal rims at the back.
That’s it for now , Will update again once rims have been painted.
