Title: Anyone running 18" wheels ?
Post by: Mr-Mach1 on November 27, 2010, 02:53:24 PM
I decided if I convert to 5-lug I want to run the 18" Magnums from Wheel Replicas. Just curious if anyone did and what their experience was.  I'm keeping the suspension stock height if that matters.

Thanks

There are quite a few of us that have 17. With the 17 I have a small side wall, and with the 18 it would probably be even smaller. May want to consider tire (rubber) cost, as the 18 may run more money.

*waves* Hi, 18's here!  Ride height is 27.25" up front and 28" out back from the ground to the top of the wheel well. The tires/rims work great, just get rims with the correct offset, otherwise you'll need rack limiters to eliminate the wheel rub in a hard turn. I run a 40 sidewall currently, but when these wear out I'll move up to a 45 sidewall.
