Default Confussed Really need help

I have a MY01 with stock wheels. I have owned the car for qapproximatly 5 years and want to change it up just a bit. My question. concern is : should I go 17" or 18"? I don't track the car anymore and it is not really a daily driver, although when the weather is noce I want to drive it. I have stock suspension which I may change someday maybe. I don't want to hav to do much to make them fit either. I have read where some guys have to roll the fenders and change camber on some 17" rims while others with 18" rims did nothing to make them fit. I have seem 2 rims I really like on the site; Wirk CR.kai 17" and 5Zigen FNO1R-c 18".

Any suggestions? I really am in the dark on this one.

Thanks in advance,
Jim

It all comes down to personal preference, which look do you think looks best with your car.

The only time camber needs to be changed with 17" is when an aggressive fitment is used. As long as you are getting the right sizes, you should be fine.

17" is what most people use if you track the car, since 18" are generally too heavy in comparison.
