I have new wheels scheduled to ship tommorow and I'm having second thoughts. After much deliberation, I settled on a 17"BBS RK/205Yoko Parada combination to go along with my new M7 springs. My main motivator was avoiding any rubbing issues with the new set-up......but...I can't help but think of the added visual impact of the 18"s. Will they rub? I can still change the order.....

 

Stick with the 17" wheels, you'll have less problems overall.

 

I have 18" and lowered with H&R, probably the largest drop of any of the springs. No rubbing problems unless hitting a sharp dip at SPEED, and that is very rare. Nothing any other time. You can do a search and find lots of debate about wheel size.

 

You'll likely have issues with the bigger wheels. But if BLING is your thing, then go for it!

ripley.

 

I'm gathering that with 18s you will be running 40 profile. I tried a friends 40s and realized that I wouldn't be able to deal with the ride on the street all the time.

Stick with 17

 

Why stop at 18"....go 19"! You can stuff a 215/35-19 under there if you're careful with your offset and tire shape.

 

I have 18" wheels and I vote for 17"...............
