Hey everyone,
I'm about to upgrade in the wheel department. Currently running 245-50-16 BFG's on the stock rims. Rides great compared to stock tire size.
How much better does the ride get with bigger wheels. I'm debating between 17 x 9's or 18 x 9's.
My car is not lowered right now (I know it looks like a 4x4), but I'll lower it someday.
Other than price and wieght, what are the downsides of the 18 inch wheel. Does the 18 handle much better than a 17?
I have read through many posts and have not seen much comparison of the two wheel sizes.
I'm not interested in drag racing. My daily commute is essentially a 15 mile road course with 65 mph top speeds.
Also, how bout tire sizes with regards to handling only.
Anyone with an opinion please chime in.
Cheers
Bob
