IMHO, I'd stick with 17's.


Cool. You should know.

I never ran 18s on my AP2, but thought they would look good after the Work wheels I temporarily had on my AP1.

is there a difference with 18" on an ap2 versus ap1? I know Blake's Ap2 had BBS LMs (18s) and I thought they looked good.. I ran TE37s in 18s on the ap2.. but on the ap1, I was stock..

18s will send every rock that you run over directly into your spine....just keep that in mind before you buy.

I dunno if I necessarily agree with that.. Was that on stock suspension? When I went from 17's to 18's, I did suspension change and then alignment shortly after that... I didn't feel any real noticeable difference to the ride quality.

Yeah, stock suspension. I guess that in fairness it also is dependant on what kind of tires you put on.

If you keep the total ride diameter the same in order to keep the speedo accurate then you are, by definition, removing 1" of rubber and air between you and the road.

All my 18's rode like crap, the 17's felt much better

Stick with 18... I hear the courts are a little more lenient about that..
