If it tickles your pickle get 17s and if your not worried about braking, stick to them

Most of us like 18's

what tires size are you going be running on those 235 or 245?

Nothing wrong with 17's to be honest. Better than rocking 19's on fucking elastic bands and completely rooting your handling. Would look better if you lower it though (says me, who has not lowered... but I have a lip kit all the way 'round).

Definitely 100% with you there on lowering.

Can't stand aftermarket rims with massive fender gap!

Can you tell me what common brake upgrade people do that dont fit under 17's? Alot less inertial mass of 17" rim to slow down than an 18" rim too BTW.

[QUOTE=Brodz;821860]Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I'm not really into the 18's look, I like a bit of chunky tire[emoji23]

Plus I'm getting black wheels without a lip so that always makes them look bigger as opposed to a dished wheel

The missus is an accountant, enough said.....

They look pretty sweet.

I have 18 x 8 enkei imolas with +50 offset on mine. Wish i had a better offset that pushed em out a bit further.

Are you referring to brembos ?

I didn't mean anything was wrong with 17s at all by all means are way lighter and put as less strain on the calipers because of mass that you mentioned.

Like allpaws i was talking about down the road, I worded that wrongly in that post ^ what I meant was to say do what makes you happy
