The problem I find with 18" wheels is that you really cant get a good size tire on it without causing problems with rubbing.


i got 18s with yokohama parada spec-II 225/35/ZR18 and it has no problem with rubbing, and 18s ftw, go big or go home...


Go ahead and lower your car and let me know if it rubs over bumps tongue.gif

18"+ wheels are heavy, which has a negative effect on performance. Some people like the big wheels though, so good for you guys. Personally I would not go bigger than 17" because it allows a larger profile tire - which makes for a better ride, and because it looks good and isn't a large burden on the car to rotate.
