18's and handling

[fastfu]

is it possible to get a good track setup using 18" wheels

yes use the same setup as 17" fast road, the main reason people go with smaller wheels is weight nothing else

I took my 18" Rotas off and went back to OEM. I personally didn't get on with them.

ive got 18s and my car sticks to the road like glue lol ive got coileovers fast road setup strut braces ect ect but the 18s dont seem to affect the handeling for me

Handling and grip are totaly different things, i have 18's atm and i cant get on with them.

Had 18"ers on mine for a while...they were ok (as I thought) and then went back to OEM size 17"s...to me the 17"s "feel" far better on the car ,so much so that I sold the 18"s and got a second set of 17"s..just my two pence worth :wink:

100% agree with this comment, currently looking to get rid of my 18's at the moment. Trying to find a nice replacement 16/17 inchers

i had 18's also, handling is dure different...but also depends on the wheel size 215-35-18 or 215-40-18 or 225-35-18
also et value and weight of rims is important, so it really all depends on that, most 18's are quite heavy
