i already have 18s on do they effect the drive? they have low profile tyres, i want normal tyres instead so it doesnt feel like its on tracks
If you prefer function to looks then I'd recommend you move to a standard 17" alloy/tyre mix (or even 16" come to that).

Not tried 18" myself but there are quite a few posts of owners complaining of poor handling & ride. This is made worse by the fact that on-board systems like ASR/ESP (if you have it) was never designed for this size of wheel.

Only problem I have is the slight discrepancy on the speedo, if there is one, e.g. speedo reads 85, sat-nav says 82, only noticeable on speeds over 50mph.

Oversized tyres would cause the speedo to under read your true speed so it looks like you have the correct profile tyres fitted to maintain near correct rolling radius on your 18's (y)

I suspect the only problem you have is a rather rough ride ;)

Haing it lowered doesnt help either (y)(y)
