Default Will my car ride rough with 18s??

Im going with a set of 18" Z06s for my 02 z28. Will my car ride rough with the 18s and the low profile tire?? Also, is there anything else I need to do to my car to adjust for 18" wheels??

As long as you don't run some ungodly psi in your tires and you have decent shocks it will be a little bit rougher than normal but not very much.

I had 19's for a while. Bad roads are bad roads regardless of the size but IMO 18's are liveable

The metro NYC area is NOT where you want to be rolling around on "rubber band" profile tires and big $$$$ wheels!!

yeah, one of those F**** took out my windshield on the Turnpike.

The ICC/DOT/NHTSA should get on their case with fines/regs/etc. instead of ragging on enthusiasts!!
