i just had 17s fitted to my vts, noticably slower than b4 i'd hate to drive a vtr with 18s on u wouldn't move! whats more important to u looks or speed?

it will be noticeablly slower.

The drive shafts will also suffer quite badly as the extra strain that is put on them by the weight and size of the wheel causing far greater stress on them to get the buggers to turn.

You can still go low but be prepared to carry no passengers in the back.

The arches will need some major work on them even if you have 17's and the fuel filler pipe will need modifiying as the wheels will rub through it no problem

dont forget cost of tyres as well smileys/smiley3.gif
