18s free and clear for me, wish i would have went 19.
ps, i think that was what you were trying to get at??? rolling arches? accidents? full lock? steering wheel turned all the way? This post has been edited by Andason: Jun 3, 2004 - 12:25 PM -------------------- i am awesome

When you say you need it lowering, is that because theres now too much bodyroll because of larger wheels...or just because youve still got a lot of space between the wheels and the wheel arches? This is whats worrying me too, I dont want the handling to suffer because of larger wheels...wont will it? Please tell me it wont!!! LOL |

the gap will be about the same no matter what if you have the right size tires. also what tire size do those with 18 have just curious cause i wold like 18's but will nevergo with less that a 40 series tire.

i have 18s but the wheels get bent easier! steering wheel gets shakey and all! its annoying and about 180 a wheel to fix.
18s look really good though This post has been edited by BlackCelicaGT94: Jun 3, 2004 - 6:43 PM -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

i have 18s and i love them. they make it handle better too. the only downside is that becuse you have a lower profile tire you feel the road more and it is easier to bend a rim.

i ahve 18's with 225/40/18 kumho supra's and lowered probly 1.3-1.5 and and a body kit but there is no problems wiht it , i think 17;s is to small cause you have to lower it alot more to get the proper look

Thanks lads, 18s sound really nice but Im not sure if I like the sound of a bumpier ride and the risk of bending them. Might got for 17s now!

Agree with that, some 18's buckle easy when driven over bad potholed roads, if you go for 18's and the roads are poor where you are, you'll be weaving like crazy.. |

Yeah, i have 18's and 35mm tires...its more about watching potholes than enjoying the ride. If u do gte 18's, get at least a 40mm tires, if not 45.
