      17's or 18's???

      Heres the deal. I bought wheels and tires last year. I bought ZR1's and eagl1 F1 GS-D3's. 17's all the way around. I sold the wheels because they dont work. Im not buying CCW Classics but i dont know if i should go with 17 inch or 18 inch. I allready have the 17 inch tires but part of me says i shoul go 18's but then i will be spending more money then i have to when i have tires. Any oppinions?

      well, you need 18's with a couple of the new HUGE brake upgrades. most of them will fit the 17's just fine. I finally decided to do 18's on my 2nd Gen. Going to order them in a week or so. Wife wants a new pc but that can wait lol

      i am not a fan of the staggered height look but it is nice on the 1st gen camaros you might find a better deal if they are all the same though... depends on your budget

      17s come stock on Mini Coopers and you don't need to stagger the diameters unless you're running a wheel in back that is too big to turn in the front wheelwells like 19s or 20s. That being said, I'd go 18s or 18s and 19s.

      Well I think you guys convinced me to go with 18's. Thanks guys. Whats a good tire to go with that isnt crazy expensive. Im doing 315's or 335's in the rear and 245's up front.
