I had 18s on my classic - no real preoblems with handling, but as they were so low profile they buckled on our lovely roads... Then got some Rota 17's and they were much better

yeh I cracked one of my 18's which let out air had it welded seems ok that was a factor in going smaller as well as improved handling
