that is WAY too narrow, especially on an 18inch rim. I wouldn't even go narrower than a 235 on a 17x9

It is not a matter if it can be done. It is a question of should it be done and the answer is no. You are a full inch shorter than stock and the tires are outside the mfg. recommendation wheel size. It can cause premature wear and in certain situations can come off the wheel.

Should it be done? No, your right it shouldnt. But should a car be slammed to the ground? No, it really shouldnt. But i mean everyone has all kind of different ways to customize and make their car their own.

True. But if you're tire shreds to pieces while you're cruising the highway and happen to spin out and cause an accident who do you think they're going to blame? I think it's a ridiculous and stupid idea IMO.
