17" vs 18" - What are the Pros and Cons?

[B2000]

Coming from a car with 14" wheels I love the 18s on my Maverick. Also the black color which will hide a lot of dirt and brake dust. Keeping the wheels clean on my Infiniti is impossible.

The 17" has much wider selection of tires to choose from. The Michelin primacy on the 18" only have 8/32" tread are 100H, and will require rotation at 4-6k miles.

I went 26,000 miles on my Michelins before the first rotation. Now at 31,000 miles and all is well.

So I saw someone answer this but for extra clarification, I have an Xlt with fx4 package but will be putting on stock 18” wheels from a bronco sport. Will speedo be off at all? Thanks.

Not to any degree that matters.

The 18" tire/wheel combo is nominally 0.4% larger, but that's within the variance of design tread depth or tire wear.

thanks for the info! I think I’ll be happy with them!
