How much more uncomfortable are 17inch rims vs 18's??

[allicedout]

Hey guys i wanted to know what the ride quality on my 98 Accord V6 is going to be like with 17's vs 18's. the car is lowered in H&R Sport. I'm looking for a nice smooth ride, not to mention the ride to work is a bumpy one. Any recommendations? thanks

I don't think there would be much of a diff.

actually I think there would be a noticeable difference, you dont see many cars come out of the factory with stock 18's, the biggest is usually 17" in order to maximize ride comfort. Also with 17's you got alot more cushion with a 205/50 sidewall than a 225/40 sidewall

It's really your tires and tire pressure that will change how the car will feel with 17s or 18s.
