I agree, I think 18's on our car is too much, especially with a 2" drop. I live in an area with shitty roads though as well, so I do NOT want my car slammed to the ground. My 17's fit nicely, will be even nicer when I drop, but i'm only tryin to do like an inch - 1.25 inches.

17's look just as good as 18's. 18's are overkill if you have crappy roads...road crown=holding onto the steering wheel with bloody knuckles to stay in a lane.

Especially on shitty roads, you know it's bad when the pres of the united states comes to your town, and first words he says to your governor is "y'all need to fix your roads"

I'm not saying that 18's don't look sweet BTW, but 17's don't look bad either. I wish we all lived in cali or florida, where the roads are straight and smooth. Damn mountains!

some says 18", some says 17" ... so get 17.5" 
I have 18" + 2" drop.. yes little bit pain but it will worth it a lot. You will buy rims only ones so dont be regret and cry after you buy your rims... I still say get 18"
18" and 17" never look the same tough....

yes it can be dropped that low with 18" rims. I have a 1999 acura cl 2.3 with a 2.25" drop all around with chrome 18" mkw wheels, it looks sick, but and a big but at that, you need to decide on what tire you want to go with, i'm going with a 225/40/R18 tire it might rub for a bit until i get my camber kit.
