Partly but also you get alot of rubbing, people have fitted 18's but you have to fit the lowest profile tyres and there not great over bumps, plus the speedo is way out, stick with 17's they fill the arches out and ride great.

SLS only came on the 16v's 190 but was also an option on 190 8v's but the chances of finding one with SLS over here are small...

Heres an 8v 190 that was on ebay last year, this was the first i'd have seen with SLS so they are rare this also had ASD:

I'm only really here for the Kitchens

18s into 190 will go !!!

You need to roll the arches (couple of hours job) and the ride will be hard but its not really that hard. If you wnat 18s you can make it work. I had them for a while but dropped back to 17s.

18s are much too big as well. Look all wrong except on an Evo 1 and 2. 17s and 16s look great however.
