I have seen 18s before, and i even thought about doin it staggered 17s front 18s back. but 18s all around looks a bit too big sometimes.

Here's a pretty darn good deal on a full set mounted and balanced that will fit your car perfectly.

In order to get a decent performance tire to fit your car, you're going to want to go to at least a 17"...

Good luck... GUSTO

Anything over 17" in diameter just looks out of proportion on a C4.
IMHO.......
