Question about 18/19 inch wheels
I am considering moving up to 18/19 wheels (possibly even 19/20). Can someone who has already done this tell me the widths they are runnig and if they had any problems with things like traction control or just fitting the wheels under the car.
There is a nice detailed thread on this subject already started so I am pointing anyone that visits this thread to the other one. May as well try to keep all of this information in the same place.

Front - 9.5", 265/35/18, rear 10.5", 295/35/19 - Michelin Pilot Sports
No problems as far as I can tell. The difference in wheels and tires from stock are not that great - posted the sizes and differences before on another thread. Lot's here run these sizes, although I read a post about the Fikse's prone to bending?? I've had mine for over 6,000 mi and no problems yet.

I have ordered some 18x9.5/19x11 HRE 541s that will be mounted on 265x35x18 - 295x35x19 soon - and will let ya know how it goes.. as many go with the 10.5s instead of the 11s..... so I think I am the first to try this..
