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 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 . . .
