17" Comps in a dark colour look too small, in a light colour look fine.
Mine runs 18s with no scrubbing (front arches rolled), and no change in handling at all.
Did like mine on the RS7s but had them for about 7 years, so wanted a change

Been using 18's with 225/35 and 235/35 for 2 years now and cant understand why they should ruin the ride compared to 17's ?? I run OE type suspention (Koni/Bilstein/Eibach) lowered about 1". It feels fine when going .. and look much better when compared to the old 17's ... .. well if you ask me

Thats because your roads are better than ours & don't have speed bumps every 100yds.

I can't understand what you 17" people are talking about..

I have been driving around in Sierra´s since 97 and I just love 18"s I think it makes the car feel more modern..

Here is my opinion:
15" and 16" are the worst! 15"s makes a Sierra understeered, and 16"s hits every little spot/hole in the road!
The roads here in Norway is so bad that you UK guys have no idea!
17" MO for example just looks boring!

Here is my beautiful handling Saph on MO6 18"s
