18's are ok if you're low enough i.e. 45mm and lower.

Mine on 17's:





Completely bored of the wheels though and despite the whole 18's are less comfortable etc etc I'm gonna get some 18" TT QS wheels.

My 4mo has 18" Audi wheels with low-profile tyres.  Which leads me to an interesting question: how do I work out what the tyre pressures should be?

I have always used standard pressures as per the fuel filler cap / handbook.
