Anyone running 18's?

I've found one guy running 18's ( https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...t-got-18s.html ) ... anyone else?
Pics and review would be great. Thanks

IMO 35 series tire is asking for a bent rim anywhere in the midwest/east coast.

I ran 17's with 35 series tire and I was constantly dodging pot holes and bumps and I still f*ck my lip up on them. I will never have anything less that a 40 series again probably no less that a 45 on a DD

On the upside, 17's and 18's qualify you for...

Hey a 35 aspect ratio is just fine if you are running a 9 inch wheel, on a Chrysler 300, then you at lewast get three inches of sidewall, on a 7 inch wheel which most of us will look at a .40 aspect ratio is only 2.8 inches of sidewall, .35 is 2.45 inches, which should be reserved for showcars that never see asphalt
