17's are best........ you can put the most effective tires on those.....when you buy 18's you get low profile tires that won't hardly last 7,000 miles.......17's set the right stance -
It's really up to you. If you think 18s are too big, then go with 17s. I went with 17s and am not disapointed. They will save you money on rims and tires. If i had a little more cash, i would of liked some 18s.<b>Matt</b><br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=377225&page=1\" target=\"_blank\">\'96 Camaro Z28 M6</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=377225&page=3\" target=\"_blank\">\'96 Camaro M5</a>Comment

I'll admit, those 18's look good. But, I would much rather have a wider 17x11 rim than an 18x8 rim. The rear stance with that 18 just looks kinda puny IMO.
