18" Wheels?
So i was looking at aftermarket wheels and i was curious if going down to 18" wheel had any detriment to our performance. Usually going down a size means more torque as theres less rotational weight to take care of. but i do know that sometimes the small wheel can complicate things ike putting the power down, handeling and the like. Anyone have any experience with putting 18" on their M2C? I tried searching the forum but didnt really find anything regarding going down a wheel size.

As tomtea said, you even have to be careful with 19s. Personally I’d like a little more rubber (aspect ratio) but it’s hard to fit anything much bigger, and going down in rim size to make room isn’t an option either.
That’s the price of looking like a total boss with our huge brakes I guess. |

Or buy a The Essex BBK that will allow 18" rims to fit. Only need to do the fronts. Rears will fit an 18" rim
