HFP Rims 17" vs 18" for a sedan

**wing_gundam** · 10-17-2006, 10:18 AM

* Can a mod make this into a poll plz?*

I am assuming that the 18" rims would fit a sedan (EX), what are the trade offs between a smooth ride and performance between the 17" and 18" HFP rims?

Also I know 215/45/R17s would look nice on the 17s, so what would you put on the 18s?

I was told you need spacers for the 18".. look so much hotter.. depending on area.. ... the trade off is performance

so 17's will perform better?

well... i think u only need spacers depending on how wide the wheel is and it's offset...

smaller wheels/tires > bigger wheels/tires performance-wise

tires will prob be general UHP's and prolly go for the 17s
