How do your big stupid 18" + wheels and rubber band tires perform on the road.

Let me guess...not to good bling boy`s.

Some learn the hard way.

Nitto NT555 235/40ZR18s all around, stock height. I think it looks good. Only rubs at full lock against the sway bar..I have the 91-93 fenders, though.

18s look dope on Foxes, I think it's the best size unless you are racing.

I really can't tell much difference between 18's on a stock ride and 17's and a lowered fox. Maybe its just me?

I had 17s and mine was lowered, it filled out the wheel wells just right.

it all depends on the tire size you go with....i had 17x9 with 255-40-17s ..i went with 18x9 and a 255-35-18s... the total diameter is the same , just less rubber between the road and rim.. so the 17s and 18s fill the tire well out the same....
