cons - rims get damaged easily cuz tyre profile is small
rides rough cuz tyre profile small
suspension will eventually go cuz u workin it more
cradle arm bushings will go (ah know for sure in d almera)
slow take off

all in all - higher maintenance cost
just wha i know from my experience wit 18" on ah almera

more work on the brakes to stop those wheels
