I bought a set of 18 inch wheels and tires before reading the posts on Rennlist that say the suspension on a 97 can't handle the extra weight of 18s. I have since beenj tryng to find out exactly what problem(s) 18s would cause, and if normal street driving would cause any issues. What changed in 98 and what would break if I put these 18s on. They have been sitting for some time while I have unsuccessfully tried to find out what hould do. Upgrade suspension? what upgrades? Or just get rid of them.

Thanks
