Either way you are reducing wheel sure but make sure you look at weights with tires. You are increasing tire and they weigh just as much as wheels in most cases. Don’t pick heavy tires for your light new wheels or you will just be wasting time.

Thanks for the input. This is exactly what I was thinking when I said I would want to go up to a 40 series tire if I go 18s. Light wheels but taller, heavier tires might negate the weight savings of going with a smaller, lighter wheel. Decisions decisions.. Anyone here have experience with the more affordable side of summer tires? Like Toyo proxies or federal rsrr's?
