stay with 17 in m8 you wil affect the handling on 18 in you need to run 35 series tyres i run 215/40/17 prada spec 2 there great

i run 225/40/18 on my07 sti michelin --better than 17 in reo70 but still camber happy /////// also depends on what suspension mods you got geo

Just fitted 18"'s this weekend. Loving the improved ride through lower profile tyres already.

I don't know how relative this is but, when I had my P1 it came with 17" wheels, I ran it with them for a while. When I put the upgraded P1 18" wheels on with 225/35/18 tyres the handling was transformed. Seemed to have more grip. This could have been down to the tyres or down to the fact that P1's were setup to run with 18's as standard, but Subaru weren't allowed to fit the 18's as standard because of European type approval. Something to do with not being able to fit snowchains with the 18's. Anyway I digress. Basically get 18's

Better handling with 18s on my 05STI. Plus they look meaner.

Was originally looking for 18's for the 06STi but ended up getting a set of 19's instead.

The ride on them is no different to the 17's on the RE070s.

yeah I bought mine with 18s but after a few arch scrapes when the car iss overloaded i'm wondering if I should go to 17s. especially now the cars about to be fitted with some aftermarket springs.
