I'm having a new (to me) 2004 Box S delivered to me. The original owner put every doo-hickie option on the car except going larger than the standard 17". Is going up to an 18" wheel going to make much difference? Is it worth the expense?

The only thing I have for reference is my stolen (recovered 10 minutes later, totaled) Box Base (1999) that had 19" wheels on it and the big Brembo brake package. the rears were 285x30/19, fronts 225x40/19...and NO, they didn't rub anything (they came with the car when I bought it 5 years ago) anywhere, at any time. They definitely kept the rear from stepping out.
