As far as rear wheels go, who has ran both and which do you prefer? I notice alot of people running 18s but ive always felt like 17s (215/45) felt more natural. Ive also only really ever ran 17s and only burned through maybe 2 18s in the life of any of my cars so thats why im curious if anyone has any real experience switching between the two and why you prefer what. Please don't add input if you're like me and have really only used one or the other and stuck with it. E36 and E46 stock to moderate power levels. Not concerned with front steer wheel size
casual tier considerations:
wheel/tire clearance & fitment
wheel/tire package diameter
tire availability & cost
wheel cost
autist tier considerations:
wheel/tire weight
wheel/tire strength
wheel/tire CD
wheel aesthetic is an optional, but unnecessary, consideration. subjective considerations based on fee fees are nonsense and should be disregarded.
