18" rims? Just a word of caution... I've got 16x 7.5" rims and 205/50-16 tires. It is already a pretty rough ride. 18" rims for an SPG will require 215/35-18 tires to keep the stock diameter. The comfort factor will be 0 with those rims and tires, unless you use your SPG for the track, I can't imagine that tire and wheel combo as a daily driver. You'd be better off with 225/45-16 tires on a properly offset 16" rim. You'll get alot more tire on the pavement and it might not be too bad a ride quality! Also, those tires themselves weigh alot more than stock and the wheels themselves are probably gonna weigh more too. That's alot of extra weight for the little 2 litre engine to get moving from a start, even if you've got modifications up to 250HP and 275 Torq at 4K RPM. Just a cautionary comment from one C900 owner to another, would never tell anyone what to do...
