Did you notice worse braking and acceleration with the 18"? I just got some 18 as well.

The setup above will not require any modification to suspension or fender. I am running with 225/45/18 all around since the wheels that I got came from an RX8 with stock rubber. 235/40/18 is the preferred tire size for front though. I didn't notice much difference in ride since the new rubber is softer than my old 16" Yokohama rubber.

I have 3 stock 16 rims that I am parting out individually. The 4th rim has a dent that I am giving away if you buy from me. Do a search on my screen name and you'll find link to my for sale post.
