Don't know what you mean about the same spec alloys but you can definitely fit 18" wheels

You can put 18's on, but to keep the rolling radius the same, and to avoid rubbing, they need an even lower profile of tyre.

That results in a harsher ride and some loss of handling.

Hi what profile tyre would you need to keep the rolling radius the same for 17 and 18"? Looking for a wheel change myself soon. Is there a noticeable change in handling with 18s?

Thanks Gethin
