Default Wheel Question..

I am considering new wheels in the future and I originally wanted to get 18's, but I got some coilovers and they ride pretty stiff. My question is how much of a difference is the stiffness between 17's and 18's? From my personal observations and opinions 17's look closer to 16's and 18's look closer to 19's and I that is why I like 18's. Though I don't really want to add to much to my already stiff ride.

Thanks

Default very dependent on your tire/suspension/road combo, if you cant borrow a set

i'd think raising to 36 psi on OEM tires will estimate the stiffness

Default Thanks for the info. I know some people with 18's, just don't want to ask them to swap. That would

be a real inconvenience, ya know. I'll try the increased PSI first.
