18's handling question

[brad197]

Will 18's ruin my handling? Also do you reckon My car will look like it's on stilts running standard ff suspension? 18's would have lower profile tyres so I'm guessing overall size should be close? Cheers

i have 18's on mine with 225/35 tyres and to be honest i think it handles better on the 17's........

the stiffer sdie walls makes it nervous and ruins the ride ;/

I already think 17" are over sized for a clio

would not even think about 18"

18's change the handling, but don't ruine it. It is acceptable, only a slight difference.

Thanks for the replys, Im gonna stick with the standard 17's! Going for a nice new powder coat finish :thumbup1:

Theres also the added unsprung weight depending on the weight of the 18" wheel with tyre in comparison to the standard wheel and tyre.
