style/fitment/tire selection. there is a small handling difference between the two, but its preference.

i run 17/18 because the cheap tires i run in the rear dont come in a 40 series for a 17, so i run 235/40-17 falken rt615 up front and 235/40-18 chinese in the rear

What about for style? What about for fitment? What about for tire selection? Is there a small handling difference between the two? Is it preference?

Does anyone in here run 17/18 because the cheap tires they run in the rear dont come in a 40 series for a 17, so they run 235/40-17 falken rt615 up front and 235/40-18 chinese in the rear?

I searched and couldn't find this information anywhere. :p
