[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 3261332, member: 15703"] Like I said previous, Nitto NT555R II's. It will increase grip and handling. It's a road race DOT tire. Be carefull with the lower eight wheel. Just because it's lighter doesn't mean you won't be slower. Rotating mass grows exponentially as diameter increases. A 17" wheel weighing 25 lbs will have less rotating mass than an 18" wheel weighing 25 lbs. You can really say that this wheel is lighter so it will have less rotational mass. You do get the handling benefit of a generally stiffer sidewall with a larger diamter wheel and if it is lighter you also get the reduction in overall weight, and it's all unsprung. Acceleration could possibly suffer however. [/QUOTE]
