Two questions:

1) Did you use a 10 mm spacer on the rear?

2) Was it a noticeable boost in handling, more precise turn-in, etc going from 17" to 18"?

Nope, no spacers required. I would have mentioned it should that have been the case.

Yes, turn-in does seem a slight bit "quicker" than before. In my view, not really a big deal for a street car.

What you will most notice, though, is how much better the wider wheels fill out the wheel wells visually, especially the rears.
