Question FC#S rim sizes good or bad.

I want to put some nice 18" on my 7 but don't want to lose HP or pull. How can I avoid this? Lighter rim or the right rim tire combo? Any suggestions, I really don't want 17"s.....
Thanks,
Benny

Yeah, you can get the CE28N in an 18,7.5 and an 18,8.5.
Then you should run the 225/35 and 245/35 size tire. The rear tire will retain your stock O.D. so gearing will remain the same. You should be lighter than your stock setup if you pick the right tires. Namely Pirelli or Toyo.

I hope this helps. These wheels can be ordered, however maybe available right now. I'd have to do some backspacing measurements to see if the +43 18,7.5 will cause any clearance issues.

Contact me if you're interested. Spend up to $2000.00 on wheels and we'll find you what you want no problem. That's my only real suggestion. You won't regret it.
