So im about to be the first on the block with the 18" SF challenges. I talked to Jeff last nite from evolution and he said volk is now taking orders on the 18"s. the pricing for the 18"s is about the same as the 19"s, but I live in downtown ATL where potholes are getting worse day by day, and I want a little extra protection with an 18" rim and i don't want to lose much acceleration or handling with a 19" rim. So he said the sizes for these are 18x9 in front and 18x10 in the back. He said from experience with people with the 19's there shouldnt be a rolling fenders prob with the 18x10's. Im assuming i can run 245 and 275 series tires with these......reccommendations on tires that are really good on handling but will last a good while (not just 10k miles).....I dont track the car or anything so im talking mainly of normal driving conditions.

 

Nitto 555s last a good while. There's a couple members who have had their tires 35k+ miles and still going strong.

 

how do the nitto's handle tho?
