Anyone running 225/40/R18 ?

I have just got a quote for £849 for BK299's fitted balanced inc VAT with budget (don't know which brand) 225/40/18 tyres. I am concerened these will scrub on the arches but the tyre place say this is the right size. Anyone running this size? My car is not and will not be lowered.
Thanks

MCS JCW EB/B 210 Bhp lots of extras!

Don't know the offset of the rims - but i had that tire size on & rubbed like crazy. Every corner and every bump - and thats before i lowered my car. Suggest to go with 35 profile abit safer.

Cheers,

Cliff
