I would consider tire prices here as well... 18's are gonna be more expensive than 17's. Just another consideration, and one of the reasons I'll probably stay with 17's.

Bigger rimmer = smaller, stiffer sidewall...keep that in mind. That's why I went with 17s, plus I hate big wheels. 18s do look good on our cars though.

Oh yea for sho...... Hey SOHC.... Have you ran your car yet at the track? What your time slips look like?

I have the same rims as my 18sbut in 17s with mickey thompsons on them and i just throw them on the back when i go to the track.

Not yet...will be going very soon. Currently have to replace my intake manifold before I can even drive the car anymore though. Stupid Ford and their plastic coolant crossover geniousness!

I just want to add that the brand of the tire will make more of a difference then the few mm you add with the rims. If you are really worried about traction I would look into a good set of tires for whatever rim you get.

p.s. I went with 18s because when I go to the track I'm not going to use these rims. I will be getting slicks when the tracks open here again.

18's are the best looking rim size for new edges, espesially when put next to 17's.
