Wheel advise

Im buying rims shortly and I just wanted to get other views on what size I should get, 17s or 18s. I dont want to screw up my rear differential if I go too big but I dont know what size will affect it. Plus I dont want my speed to be off. Thanks guys.

Go with 17 if you want to have the ability to bomb over potholes and such and 18 if you want to look cool as you slow down for them. I went with 17s. Your "speed" will not be effected if you select the proper tires. You should be able to find something that closely matches the diameter of your stockers. Keep an eye out for the proper offset (say 45-52) and light weight wheels.
