Just bought these but now im questioning how the car will look with them on. I just wanted to know what you all think about running 18's before I went and invested more into them like spacers, lug nuts, and 2 tires.

I personally roll on 16 and know that putting bigger wheels on your ride requires more power. Even race cars don't roll on too big wheels so, i think that 18'' are a little big but they still look good. If your looking more into looks than performance than, go with those.

If you like 18s then stick em on and enjoy them. I have run 18s for years now without issues and thats on crappy UK roads. The only issues I have with 18s is the price of the tyres, 17s are so mush cheaper which at the end of the day might be the deciding factor. 16s are too small, you`ll end up with side wall roll when pushing hard through corners. Put them on and see how they go...if you like them then keep them, if not try and swap them for some 17s or sell them and buy something different. -------------------- |
