Clearly this is more to 'show'....

i drive plain o 2.5 hard and 255 rears are plenty, and I won't think about 18" unless I can reduce overall sprung weight and in fact my 97 is not designed for 18" anyway so little temptation.

And spacers will change suspension geometries/ scrub, effectively soften the spring rate and add more load to wheel bearings. Winder tires pushed out will add more wind drag at speed too.

It will look aggressive I'm sure but you would need to live with functional compromises when you are inside the car and actually driving it.
