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.

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.
