Yes it it a photoshop that Icy did for me before my car came back from the bodyshop in June.  And it's quite good seeing he did it by only using the under-construction pics in my garage.

If you have coilovers on the front with 18's and the wheels are et45 you need 4mm wheel spacers to clear the coilover, this means that the front arches will need modding, inner arches removed, lips cut back and plastic trim re-shaped, been there done it, any more questions mate gives us a shout, i did not notice hardly any difference in height from 17's to 18's

yeah on 18's u wont gain a half inch even as the tyres will be lower profile, it'l be more like 1/3 inch which just aint worth it!
Either change front or bite bullet and get 19's and be prepared for a damn slow, undrivable and very expensive job!!!!

Its more than just a little trimming of the arche sto get 18's on there, especially on the front with coilovers as you need about ET40 or 45's with 5mm spacer to get them on, i had the back of mine where the inner and outer arch join cut back then re welded, no rubbing hardly at all then. (you will need the rear 1/4 panels painted though.)
