I'm getting some real nice 18" wheels and I need some opinions. In order for them to look right I'll need to install real low profile tires. Can I hear the pros and cons on this so I can make an informed decision whether to go ahead with this. Thanks
I'll get some pics of the wheels too as I know you guys love pics.
18 inch 4bolt wheels
15 inch 5 bolts wheels on my MX6, not universal fit.
Ok I thought these were interchangeable but they're not. The 4 bolt seems to have two different 4 bolt sizes and the 5 bolt on my MX6 are simply able to fit two different sized 5 bolt patterns.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
Well considering you will have to go with 35 series tires to clear the strut mount..... DO NOT drive past Bowmanville... as everything else west... has pot holes that will bend your rim sooo fast..... a guy I know just got new 20's on his truck hit a pot hole and broke the rim right in half in Oshawa.
Our roads in Ontario are just not made for it!
Not to mention it may be hard on your back old man! eheheh
i dont know where this low profile tires are better thing came from? look at nascar or formula one. those tires have a massive profile.
plus the price of replacing those tires. you might put them on and get a nail in the sidewall and be screwed out of 270 bucks just like that. with my 15's i just bought tires for 109 a piece and that was even expensive ish.
No no! Don't go 18's, they make you look like some ricer, because everyone knows they are all show and no go! Not to mention, driving with such a low profile tire will surely mean bent or cracked rims in no time.
