Pros and cons of bigger wheels, 18" decision Options

[Nihil]

Ok, currently I got 7Jx16" wheels with 205/50R16 tires. This my winter set, but since the winter is almost over and I don't have a set of summer tires, I'm thinking about buying a second set of wheels. I fount used 8Jx18" O.Z. racing Hydra that are quite cheap, but now I want to know, how will this affect mi ride?

I've seen 6G Celicas on wheels from 14" to 19", how are your experiences with different diameters? Are 18" wheels too much, if the roads are a bit bumpy and there are some potholes and cracks and such?

I wanna hear some pros and cons that can help me decide if 18" are suitable for me Thanks

Depending on how wide of a wheel and how low off an offset you go you'll know which size tire you'll need to use.

I personally use 17x7 +38 wheels at the moment and have 0 rubbing issues with 215/45/17 tires and they are relatively comfortable.

I bought the car with 18s and it was horrible, but it might have been because it had blown shocks and heated springs. I've been wanting to try 18" wheels again but I've preferred sticking with 17"

As mentioned above, you'll need to choose a tire that fits if you go too wide. You have to be careful though, you don't want to extremely stretch the tire. Personally 205/45 or 215/40 tires are pretty easy to fit, even 225/45 and 215/45 fits depending on ride height/wheel width
