Default Would you swap 17" OEM wheels for 18" OEM wheels?

So lets say you are running 17" OEM wheels and you have the chance to swap them out for 18" OEM wheels as a straight across trade. Would you do it?

This is kind of a feeler, I'm running 18" OEM wheels, and I'd like to swap them out for 17" OEMs to use as my winter setup. Just trying to gauge whether or not my plan has any chance of flying before I post in the classifieds.

If i had 17 inch and someone offered me a straight trade for 18s i would do it in a heartbeat. 18s look way better.

Assuming that the condition of the wheels are the same as the ones that I'd be trading I would also jump on that deal. I doubt you'll have a problem finding someone to swap with you.

I would do it if it's an even trade. However you'll have to either swap your TPMS sensors or get them reprogramed.

Good point; sounds like a good reason for me to get my hands on the Techstream software & cable sooner rather than later!
