+1 on reducing weight and unsprung mass to mitigate the loading from a 18" setup.

Key would be to ensure that the 18" tire/wheel combo had the same or less weight, along with same diameter/circumference, as the 17" setup.

If these conditions are met, the suspension should be loaded similarly between the 17" and 18" setups.
