Are 18 in wheels good?
Subjectively, both the 17-inch and 18-inch wheels and tires were in the sweet spot of grip, braking performance, ride comfort, and steering feel. Moving from 17-inchers to 18s barely degrades ride quality, and the additional grip is welcome.
Are 18 wheels better than 16?
An 18-inch tire, for example, will probably weigh at least a couple of pounds more than a 16- or 17-inch tire. That could also be true of a larger-size wheel. A steel wheel weighs more than an aluminum alloy wheel, so the latter enhances performance by reducing the unsprung weight.
What size tires can I put on a 18-inch rim?

Why are 18-inch wheels better than 17?
The Quick Answer. Smaller 18″ alloys will have tires with a lower profile compared to the smaller 17″ alloys. The benefits of the 18″ alloys are that they result in sharper handling and look more aesthetically pleasing, however, the 17″ alloys are more comfortable, quieter and cheaper in comparison.
Can I use R18 instead of R17?
Yes, you should complain. The R17 tires are narrower than the R18’s, which makes them slightly more dangerous because you lose a tiny amount of contact surface (on paper anyway), but mostly there is a huge price difference between 17 inch and 18 inch wheels (for some reason). If you paid for 18’s, you should get 18’s.
What is the largest tire you can put on an 18 inch rim?
Registered. The 245 size is the widest tire that will properly fit the rim.
Why bigger wheels are better?
Simply put, the larger your tire, the more of a grip your vehicle has on the road. As a tire’s width increases, it covers more surface area on the road. According to iSee Cars, this increase in contact with the pavement gives your vehicle more to hold onto, increasing its handling and ability to maneuver.
What is the difference between R17 and R18 tires?
It comes down to more subjective measures, apparently. The smaller 17-inch tires represent the most comfortable ride thanks to the larger sidewall. The 18-inch tires create a bit more road noise, and this is further exacerbated when the car jumps up to the 19-inch wheels and tires.
Will 33 inch tires fit on 18 inch rims?
Registered. Yeah 18s or 19s if you can find 19s will work. You can clear 33s with no lift but 2inches will be great just to make sure you get no rubbing.
