Which one would be better, I want the 18" wheels for the look, but my handling might suffer. Also, what is a good tire size for 17" or 18", 215/45 or 225/45 or even 215/40?

But I have 18" and yeah with bumps and potholes you will regret 18" with 40 series tires. If you lve in a good area withe nice roads (e.g. California) then go for 18" man!

If you go with a 17x8" wheel, you will need 225/45 17 tires.

For 18x8's, you will need 225/40 18 tires.

These sizes are the closest you can get to stock so that your speedometer will give you an accurate read.

17's won't give you a painfully harsh ride, and they offer better performance than an 18" wheel of the same make. An 18" wheel will offer no real benefits except for looks.

Whenever you need a new set of tires for your rims, you'll be having to shell out ~$200 more per set of 4 just because you went with 18" rims. Is the aggravation of dodging even the smallest of potholes and spending alot more money worth it? I personally don't think so. My vote is for the 17" ones! (Heck, they're probably lighter too!)

Save the funds for something exciting like a PESG2 Supercharger!!

Be sure to tell us what you ultimately decide on!
