Default 18x5's street use.

Going back to the race star wheels with my new setup. I previously had the 15x3.75" front runners, and i absolutely hated the way they felt on the street. This time around, i was curious as how the 18x5's would compare. Ill be running a 15x10 out back. I want the 18" so i can clear a big brake setup since this is mainly a street car. I will do a 17x7 if itll clear a CTSv/2010 SS brembo caliper. Thanks for the info.

Sorry I'm no help, but I'm wondering the same.

I think mickey thompson has an 18" radial tire for skinnys, should be a good option

My 3.5s feel fine on the street...can't see how an added 1.5" would be any better, especially with a tire not really rated to use in that way.

Come to find out, the 18s are only offered in a 5x4.50 bolt pattern so I have to go with a 17x7
