Title.

Also, will they be really heavy? Will I regret going with 18's?

I want my car to be light and quick.

I don't have my celi anymore but those are HP Design Wheel HPR-5's 18x8 +38
If I am remembering correctly I was running 225/40/18 tires.. They rubbed occasionally
when I'd hit a bump but it was rubbing the inside plastic wheel wells, didn't really wear
the tires down or anything. The main problem with running that size wheel on a stock
suspension is you are putting a lot of stress on worn struts and shocks, it really wasn't
the safest thing to do at all, but it did look damn good. I would say that if you are going
to continue to run a stock suspension just get new struts at least KYB's will do the trick.
If you are going to honestly boost your car don't get 18's, if you're looking for style and
looks do it. I didn't really notice any difference with speed or anything. If you run the
same size wheel/tire combo I did your speedo will be off some, like 4mph maybe. Any
questions feel free to PM me
