^^^ not necessarily...could be just a car noob who want what the cool kids have.
We were all noobs and didn't know how or where to get anything done at some point.

But for sure I didn't see a single question asked in that entire post, so I don't exactly know what is the point of this thread.

Is the OP asking for advice or just stating they don't know where to get stuff?
(^^^ THAT'S how u ask a question BTW)

i like 18's... but do u think its safer than 17's

Postby **Hook** » March 11th, 2011, 2:52 pm

Doesn't matter too much really. Believe it or not, 225/45/17 and 225/40/18 have the same diameter and I've seen 225/45/17 on an NZE Corolla so you're safe.

Just remember that for strut clearance, the larger rim you get, the lower the sidewall profile so that the tyres don't rub on the underside of the "bowl" on the shock on which the springs sit. while a lower sidewall profile means less sidewall flex on cornering, it also compromises ride comfort somewhat, as there's less cushion between your rim and the road. This could lead to premature wear of ball joints, suspension bushings etc. AND you'll prolly want to look into lowering the car to keep it from riding high like a tractor. Just somethings to consider.

Make a quick distance measurement between the centre of the rim and the bottom of the shock bowl and then use THIS CALCULATOR to help you with your decision.

17s are better i have 225\40\ 18s on my nze it rides good but it touches the back fender ah little on those dips on the highway, so 17s is better!
