17s Or 18s For Stock Ride Height On A Coupe

I think a lot depends on the wheel. Some 17's look smaller than others. It also depends what car they are on. I think wheels look bigger on coupes and LX's because of the lack of side skirts. I used to be very adamant about nothing bigger than 17's on a fox, but after seeing some 18" wheels of specific brands, I think 18's can look great with the correct profile tires. I'm not into the rubber band look either.

Thanks for the pictures guys. I think I'll go with 17s.

And to whoever asked why I don't want to lower it, just my personal preference. Don't get me wrong, I love the look of them but I've had a lowered car for the past 8 years. Also, with the Mustang my H pipe already scrapes at stock ride height.

If your h pipe scrapes at stock height, the h and or catback is installed poorly.
I've run lowered with 16, 17 and 18 inch wheels pretty much forever. Rarely do i have a scraping issue. The trick is angling the h pipe upwards towards where it meets the catback.

Raceaholic is also right, some wheels look larger or smaller based on the rest of the car.

I'm no picture whore, but here's an old one, only took me like 20 minutes to figure out how to link it. So hope it works.
