What if I went with 18's? Should I stick with 17's for performance or does it really matter?
And, thanks for such a quick reply! |

I would run a smaller sidewall (the middle number) if you went to 18's.
17's would be better for performance. 18's is better for the looks department.

if you are planning on using 17 inch wheels I would go with
255/40/17's for the 2 front tires and 275/40 17's for the 2 rear tires.
