What are some of the advantages moving from 19" wheels to 18"?

[phatjoe]

Hi,

I've noticed that a few folks have switched from 19" wheels to 18". I understand that one benefit of the 18" wheels is the larger sidewall, which provides a softer ride. Are there other advantages to using 18" wheels?

Thanks

Increased sidewall height helps if you encounter potholes. Probably a good option in snow country.
As far as ride goes, the ITS damper module softens the ride and can be adjusted with the touch of a button.

More tire options and tires are cheaper for 18".

Lighter wheel options is probably the biggest reason if I had to guess.

More tire options, cheaper tires, better ride, lot of wheel selections.

265/35/18 & 275/35/18 provide a much larger range of tires.
