IMO 18's look nice but really are not all that practical. I'm running 18's but have serious traction problems due to the power level and the lack of availability of really sticky tires, ie. drag radials, in 18 inch sizes.
Another negative is the lower profile tire also gives less "cushion" for potholes.
If I were to do it again, I'd go 17s

I just ordered a set of 18's.
