That is goregous...how do the 18s perform on the track? Have you tried them against 17s? I think with more rim, steering feel, and directness would go up...So I'd totally do the 18s if cost wasn't an issue

For all you guys that have much wider than stock tires on the front, how did it affect your steering feel? Is it heavier? More numb?

From what I hear it is more responsive, less flex in the sidewalls

for you shadowz actually putting your car on the track not just the parking lot !

I too would like to know this. Im thinkin about going 225F and 255R, is this a dumb move? 18x7.5 and 18x9.5 would be the potential wheel setup.
