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.

I believe the main concern was increased torsion load from the reduced sidewall height & presumably higher performance tires.
