The 18's look great on it, however you will feel every bump on the road. I put on Volans last year on my 850 (17's) from the 15's and I could tell a huge deal.

theres also a cost factor also tires are much more expensive for 18", although they look so dam good!!!

You'd be surprised..... If you shop around online at the big 3 tire co. you can find 18's super cheap

18's get my vote.

I vote for 17's, maybe i don't see 18's enough but anything larger than 17 looks out of place on an 850. Also, depending on offset and width rubbing will could be an issue.

does anyone one have pics of 17" then 18" to see the difference.

17's. Best of both worlds. Comfort and Performance.

matt01 01-31-2010 07:32 PM

do 18's rub under hard tracking?

tech 01-31-2010 07:37 PM

It will depend on the tire size and brand you buy.

matt01 01-31-2010 10:27 PM
