ok...do i go for the 18 inch wheel on my 90 TII or try and stick with the 16 or 17 inch wheel? i found a really nice set of adr's for pretty cheap but they're 18's. how much of a difference in handling and cornering will it make to my RX? i need some opinions on this one..thanks

Heavier. Harsher Ride. Tire rub unless you get rubber band tires...

Go with 16-17.

believe it or not... a guy with the stock wheels and kick *** tires will beat the snot out of somebody running 18X9's with cheap assed, hard compoud tires with crappy sidewalls......

That being said.. 18's look cooler.. however, the performace gain over the 17's isn't much, and you will pay hell in finding 18's with the correct width and backspacing....
you got less than 10mm to work with between the stock wheels and the suspension...

I posted a wheel calculator thread here.. check that out... it will help you decide what wheels wil fit...

Shuck makes a wheel called the BS1 that comes in 18x7.5 38mm backspacing that will easily fit the front with a 215 tire on the front the may the same wheel in 18x8.5 39 that will fit the rears with a 245 tire on it.....

I've been looking at the ADR Kasei's in 18X8+35 and 18X9+35 This will work with 215's on the front and 245's on the rear

I'm STILL trying to decide wheather to go 17 inch or 18 inch though... Tire selsction for the fronts seems a LOT better for 17 inche wheels
