Default Should 18" Ultra Sport Rims fit my 3.0Q w/o Sport Pkg?

Biggest mistake--I know--getting the car w/o Sport Package, but that's what happens when you're an impatient buyer like me.

A friend of mine has the 18" Ultra Sport wheels and I tried them out--the car moved with them on, but when I hit the brakes I felt a strong "clunk"--it wasn't right.

A strong clunk when you hit the brakes could mean the lugs are not on tight. I know recently I rotated my tires and I felt a clunk. I then torqued my wheels with about 90lbs of torque and they where ok. I have a 3.0Q without sport suspension and I plan on getting 18" wheels. There is no reason those wheels would not fit. Check to make sure wheels are torqued.

I just used the wrench--next time I'll do it right. Thanks for the replies!
