yes...you can easily do 18" wheels but why would you want to? I went from the heavy 17" superlights and dreadful Goodyear runflats to much lighter 16" and yokos....much better handling peformance and even a small improvement in the low end starts with the lighter weight at all 4 corners......the 18" wheels and low profile tires look cool parked, but driving the car is another story, laugh !

Neighbor has 19" on her MCS. Looks nifty, but my back hurts just lookin' at them. They fit rather well, tho. No interferance.

Sorry, red03mini. The young lady with the 19" wheels was a no show yesterday. I'll try later on today. Her MCS is Dark silver/Black, I believe.

OK, I got the piccysof the 19's. Had to carry the camara around for a while on the chance I'd find it in the driveway.
Now for the interesting part. How the heck do I get te image on here?
She's runnning Pirelli 215-35-19's
BTW
If someone would be kind enough to explain to me how to (using moron terms) I would be pleased to share them w/ you.
