looks sick
however, I must say........man 18"s look tiny on our cars! When I park next to two of my best friends, who both have Focus's (Foci?), both newer body style (one's an '05, the other an '07), they both have 18"s and man do they look good on those cars. Makes them look more like 20"s on their cars in contrast to my 18"s on my car, lol. I'm ordering my 19"s on Monday!
(my 18"s are being sold to my lovelee girlfriend!)

if it sits higher. then your speedo's off, also if it sits higher, you have the wrong size tires.. your car should sit the same height even the bigger rims if you have the right size, changing the wheel diameter is going to screw alot of things up man. You should go back and get the correct tire size to avoid any possible speeding tickets from your speedo reading slower than you're actually going... that being said... love the look you should tint your tails so your car is totally blacked out then it'll be the pure sex

i don't know my theory is usually do it right or don't do it at all... and it's better to be safe then sorry... if you can keep your speedometer correct you might as well do it. I mean you could get it recalibrated or try to do it with HP tuners ( if he has that capability) but those are usually a big hassle either way

ummm... yes you could do that but why when you could get the right size tires? that makes sense to do if you're goin for 20s or something huge but just going for a plus 1 set up you might as well keep it right... plus an inch and a half is a pretty big difference as far as rotation is concerned...
