I see a lot of folks upgrading to 17's just kind of wondering if any one has 18's and if they do has it damaged their car any

If you're all into looks, 18s are a must.
I bought my 17s because- Cost less
- Worried about curb rash
- I love this particular style!
If I had enough cash, I would've bought 18s.--<b>David</b>--<br /><a href=\"http://bryant2.bryant.edu/~dsantore/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">The <b>NEW</b> V6Bird Website!</a> <br /><a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/thev6bird\" target=\"_blank\">Cardomain site</a><br />ΔXComment

I have 17's because I got them for a really good price and I love the style of these rims too. If they came in 18's I would have definately gotten 18's though

Reason I asked is that I am new to this customizing cars game and I heard that changing the size of your times would throw off the speedometer. i will probaly go with the 17's due to the money situation unless I can get a good deal on some 18'sComment

it throws off the speedo if you go to a huuuuuuuuge rim with a lot of tire.
if you keep the diameter the same as you currently have on your car now, you'll have no problems.
this might mean going to a low-profile tire depending on how big of a rim you decide on.Comment

So a 18 would be fine as long as it is on a 35-45 series tires. Appreciate the info... thanxComment

In the long run your going to want the 18s, for probably just a little more money then what the 17s would cost get those 18s. You can thank me later.Comment

I've got a set of Breyton 18's on my car and they look sweet. Pics coming soon. The only problem i have is that when people are sitting in the back and i go over a dip or bump in the road my tires scrap the inside of the wheel well. I ordered the jounce spacers from slp but havent put them on yet. I'll let you know if this cured my problem.Mods:<br />Whisper lid, free ram air, high flow cat, 3\" catback, flowmaster 80 series, 160* thermo, Jet stage II, 18\" Breyton rims on 245 kuhmosComment
