    Hello!

    I am ready to install a set of 18" Montegi Racing wheels.

    However I have concerns about ABS and other sensor issues that could arise.

    Has anyone that has done this experienced issues that I need to be aware off. Thanks in advance.

    9.5 is too wide 18x8 is good.... and will provide a bit better MPG
