Just remember that if you want 18's to be legal on your U13, you will need an engineers certificate.
Otherwise you face the risk of your insurance being void during an accident if your insurer wants to be a prick and not pay out.....

Plus 18's are hell expensive for rubber in the profile you will need.

there is a set of tires at 180 a pop for ones that will be the right profile on 18s. Theyre something stupid like 20pro tires to not increase the rolling resistance.

I got 18's on mine and i didnt notice too much of a difference from the 17's except for a lil more understeer. Thats sittin on king spring super lows and fucked shockies. lol. front camber is bullshit negative.. handles nice tho. costs alot in rubber.. in the middle of organising new suspension for it.

Well I bought a set of 18" rims and tyres off a guy from SilviaWA for $700
Bit of curb damage but otherwise looked pretty snazzy.

DO NOT have any tyres other than low pro's dude, went through 2 tyres in a week because I didn't realize.
But yeah, I have NO rubbing what so ever on my U12.
