So which is it?

I am actually looking at the 17"s, The original thread was Davek 515's and I missed the part where he was looking at the 18"s. I am running the stock z16 rims and was looking for an alternative to the 265/40-17 fronts, and have considered selling the front 17" wheels and going with 18" all around. I apologize to Davek for confusing his thread.

I also go with 265/35/18 on a 10in wheel in the fronts. I use a Speed Lingerie front bra and it hooks in the wheel well. For the cost of these things, I didn't want to chance chaffing it.
