I am in the process of ordering some wheels from wheelsnext.com. They were unable to get the rims I wanted in the 18x7.5 dimension but instead are offering me 18x8.5 for the same price. They said it will still fit the same 235/55/R18 tire that I want.
In other threads I noticed that a few people have 18x8.5 wheels with apparently no rubbing, but just wanted to know if there are any major downsides to the 8.5 versus the 7.5 width?
How do they compare with ride, handling, etc.?
