18s on an MCS?

How's the ride on 18s in your mini? Im wondering if I should stick with 17s or go to the 18s I want. Any advice?

I had 17" wheels on my 2003 MCS. I have 18" wheels on my current 2006 MCS. On the 2006 MCS, I had 205/40x18 runflats and switched to 215/40x18 non-runflats. I am happy with the ride with the 215/40x18 tires. The ride will depend on the tires, mainly the sidewall height. The 18" wheels will increase the ride height depending on the sidewall height used on the 18" tire compared to the 17" tire.
