18" all 4 corners
Any problem with ABS or Trac Control when going to 18" wheels? Do I need to maintain proportions and go to 18" front and 19" rear? :cheers:

Re: 18" all 4 corners (binksZ06)
The key is to maintain about a 1" difference in TOTAL diameter from front to rear, not just wheel diameter. So going with a lower profile tire in front can compensate for switching to an 18" rim. I've got 18" Ronals front and rear, with BFG KDs - 265/35 front, 295/35 rear. Overall diameter for the fronts is 25.3", for the rears 26.1". .8" is enough to keep active handling, etc., happy. So you really need to look at the wheels and tires together, not just wheel diameter alone.
Good luck,
