18x8" on NC?

Postby Poizon » Mon Apr 13, 2015 12:59 am

Besides the aesthetics. Are there any other benefits for moving to 18s?

Appreciate the feedback.

No benefits only negatives, being weight and ride quality.
Plenty have tried RX-8 wheels and 90% get rid of them and run 17's.

Thanks Phil. I thought so too.

I suppose the most sensible (and practical) is probably to go 215/45?
