Default 17's, 18's, or Staggered

I'm trying to figure out which way to go when I get my new rims. My T/A is driven on the street quite a lot, so I don't want to sacrifice ride quality that much.

How's the ride quality on all 18's? Is it teeth-jarring?

And other than the rake, is there a reason to go 17's up front and 18's out back?

Thanks.

It would seem that how thin of a tire u go with will affect the ride more. If u drive it alot u might not want to do a 17 and 18 because then u can't rotate u tires which wears em out faster and makes the ride rougher. IMO

i have 18's all around and the ride quality is the same thing.i was thinging about getting 19 in back and 18 in front but remeber your tire in the back will be skinnier than the front tire.

I don't liek the staggered loo on a F-Car, it just doesn't flow . . .

As for wheel choice, either work grerat, the other thing to keep in mind is cost of tires, 17's are quite a bit cheaper than 18's . . .

I have 18's on one of my Camaros and love em, and 17's on the other, and there just as great, ride, the 18's are little harsher, but I did suspention changes after the wheels so tough call . . .
