    I am also planning on putting 18" rims on my car also. I don't think it should cause any problems to your handling. It might effect your speedometer, but i am not sure of that either.

    this is just my opinion guys, I think 18 is too much for our cars, the most would be 17s with 205/45/17 or 215/45/17.
    good luck and don't worry about the speedometer.

    yeah I agree, plus with a big wheel like that, the rotational mass starts to kill your times...if you care about that :)

    As far as time goes if i take my car to the track i won't run it with 18's on it. I would buy some slicks mount them on either 15" light weight rims or the stock ones. the 18 are for every day use. I don't plan on racing anyone in the streets anymore.

    yeah, that is a good point. Something I've been considering myself, I would probably go 17 at the most for me
