No rubbing with the 18" wheels, works like a charm.

I don't see any issues with you adding washers.

x1 .......... but so is the price of my Continental tires at £220 each.

Continental Tyres -ContiCrossContact

When I have some time I might have a play with turning them down on the lathe a millimetre at a time. Although I run 255/50/R19 RRS wheels and tires they are the same wheel offset and rolling diameter as the stock 255/55/R18 wheels and tires.
