Message all around on 18's and swears by it... the lower profile of the tire causes less shoulder deflection, therefore less negative camber is required. Z32s are notorious understeerers anyway, so having more rubber up front allows for more aggressive turn-in. Bottom line is that you have a better track set-up without having to rework your sway bar balance and alignment every time you go to the track. 17s are more comfortable for the street. Funny... we had it backwards the whole time. So he says... :)

I don't know if you should listen to me though:

;) This was WAY back in the day though... ;)
