Don't cheap out on the drop. your 18's will look like 17's with 50 series sidewalls, and you'll ride a bit higher.

They may come that way but their speedos are also programmed to run with that size. You will be to large. You also should run your stock rims in the winter, the smaller width tire will go thru snow much better
