Question daily driver wit 18's??

I have a 2k4 EX sedan and am really stuck in between the Enkei RSV in black 18 and them in 17. I live in MI and go to Michigan State, go SPARTANS! But i was wonderin if I get the 18's i know they fit but will I regret it because of shitty MI roads? Will the be bent behind repair before winter even comes for me to take them off? DO the tires wear too fast?? I also am a teenager so ya know how I drive hahaha. I do not care about speed cuz I cant afford anymore speedin tickets anyways since I just got my license back and I used to own a Jeep haha.

I drive with 18's on the shitty Michigan roads, and have no problems. Just make sure you go with 215/40/18 and NOT 215/35/18. It actually makes a big difference. You might just want to go with 17s though then you don't have to worry about it. 17 inch tires run a bit cheaper too.

i have 18's with 215/35/18 rubber and no problems around here.. and we have the shittiest of michigan roads... but i also have forged Enkei RPM2-s so that kinda helps with less bendage.. just be careful.. and no problems...

LOL...ANYWAYS...

Yeah I'm in Rochester. 215/40/18s are fine, I had to roll my back fenders a 'lil but not much. I've never rubbed. Dropped about 1.75" on Goldlines.
