17 or 18....

I was originally planning on getting a set of 17x9s and 17x10.5 for my ride but I was thinking with the H&R springs and with my plan of adding a cobra R front bumper to my car I'm thinking that the 17's are going to maybe look small on the car with the low stance and especially with the low front bumper. What do you all think? Overall, its going to be an extra like 120 or something like that to go with 18s over the 17s price not including the tires and I know the price of the tires is going to sky rocket from the original pricing. Most people say 17s are all your going and are what looks nice witha stock looking car but for the appearance sake what do you think will mesh better? Thanks.

17" tires are a lot cheaper, and less risk of denting your rims.

On an SN95, 18's fill the wheel wells proportionally and look right IMO.

I have 18x9's on my car lowered about 1.5 inches and I think it fits the wheel well very well. Also, I got my tires for around 600 dollars total so I don't see price being that big of a deal.

If it was me, I'd go with 18's.

damn, when I priced the 18"s they were more than that. how 'bout that.

well, I suppose it's definitive than. I know when I get the Cobra it'll be 18"s

Originally I wanted to put 18s on but then I figured 17s would be enough. Been kinda wanting to put 18s on her again so I'll probably go with 18s. Thanks.

I am going to go 18s eventually, if you can afford the tires then thats what i would do unless you are really worried about traction.

Anyone have a pic of two sn95's one with the 17x9 and 17x10.5 and one with 18x9 and 18x10.5 side by side to get an idea of the differance...

Are you talking to me? The pic in my profile is when I had an air suspension on. I just put a new suspension in and it hasnt settled in yet so I dont know how much shes dropped now.
