18" Rims all around
I am looking to purchase new rims and am thinking of doing 18's all around. Will that cause any drivability problems?

Just make sure your rear tires are taller than the front. I think Factory is about 1 inch.

All 18's is what I plan to do soon. As stated above, be sure the outside diameter is the same as stock and you should be OK

Yes, this has been discussed several times. I've been running this setup for a few years now with no problems whatsoever. As said, just make sure the rear tires are at least a couple of sizes larger.

So would it be alright if I did 255-40-18 in the front and 285-40-18 in ther rear? Or do I need to do a 35 series in the front?
