You should expect your FC to go up. Better road holding & very stable in steep corners.

....but will the new rim & tyre fit my ride...any idea???

[Silverado1]

Shouldn't b a promblem. But ride wouldn't b too comfy ! It's Performance Vs Comfy. You should b using super low profiles! ( 40 or 45 )

tell me bout it...tink 45 shud be gd enuf...coz with 40, more chances of the rim getting scratches. wudn't wan that to happen.

[Gilahonda]

btw,wats the meaning of "offset +42"?

[Silverado1]

Offset: The distance from the centerline of the wheel to the face of the mounting surface of the wheel.

BTW here's somemore definitions FYI : Back Spacing: The distance from extreme edge of rim to wheel mounting surface.

X Factor: Caliper Clerance or Brake clearance.

18inch...hmm...big size and lots of unknown certainties...best to bring the sample down to tyreshop and ask them to fit onto your car, then turn your steering wheel left and right fully to see whether it hit or cause any abrasion any part internally...18inch looks nice...but oil price going at US$100 per barrel...i think it is more wise to stick to original size for your own pocket

Hi Just for your Info, with tires of this size, what you'll get is better holding & stability, at corners but expect higher fuel consumption of at least 10%.

You can also fit on BBK for added braking power. Also expect to pay more for the 18" tires when the time comes. Abt $200+ to $300+ per tire, depending on Make & country of origin.
