18's are WAY too big. Plus you're gonna be able to see into the drivers window of the F-350 that just pulled up along side of you.

i got 18s right now cause i had no other choice at the time but there not that bad not sure what size tire i have but they dont rub at all and they do close up the gap a lil bit better than the stock tires if you want 18s go for it but your asking a bunch of tuners there opinion and they'll probably all say 16 or 17s with a drop

p.s. i getting rid of the 18 asap for sum 16 splits
