I've just fitted these to my RB5 (with Goodyear GSD3 225/35/18 rubber) and I must say the ride is just as good as with my old 17" speedlines. In fact the Goodyears give a nice smooth ride and the road noise is a whole lot less than my old Toyo T1-S's.

I had 17 inch Speedlines with Toyo's and sold them before getting the 18's. So I borrowed some standard 16's on Bridgstones. These 16's 'believe it or not' were harder riding and more tramlining then the 17's.

The 18's on 35 profile Toyo's are also better then the 16 inch Bridgstones. I can only assume the tyre wall on the bridgstones is stiffer.

The Bridgestones also make a horrible 'ping' noise as I drop off my lowered drive kerbing 'on lock' in the morning. Neither the 17 or 18 inch Toyos do this (it's not just the ones I borrowed either as when I first got the car it had some and they done the same).

Very pleased as the wife and friends were concerned that it would ride alot harder on the 18's.

P.S Thanks for all your comments....

Standard Subaru as Prodrive kindly fit inserts to all their wheels to allow Standard Subaru nuts to be used.

Referring to speedline (as I had both Prodrive sourced Silver ST2's and Speedline sourced Gold ST2's beforehand)
Basically there are 2 types of wheel. The Speedline or the Prodrive/Speedline the later is set up with inserts where as the former is not.
Hence why Speedline supply the correct nuts to use due to no inserts being fitted

I expect that OZ are the same, although I could be wrong.
