18" rims/tires with stock height ?
 
Im running 17x7.5 on 225/45/17.. and a 1.1" drop. But Im no liking the stiffer ride and ever so slight camber. so Im thinking of going back to stock height and just putting in some 18x8/7.5 to fill the gap just slightly

for those of you who have only done that , what can I expect ?
any pics of that would be great too -thanks !!!

Don't quote me on this, but adding 18's to an OEM height vehicle may give you a 4x4 look! Springs different from whatever you're on may give you the ride quality you're perhaps looking for. What springs are you on?

Stock and 18's looks pretty 4x4 ya... What are you dropped on now that you're not happy with?

I'm not clear on how that discounts my contribution here...

OP didn't say that he was looking for stretched tires and I need a sidewall on my tire for the type of driving I enjoy.

I got the 'SWIFT racing' springs.. 1.1" on all 4.
it looks great but im more bummed on the ride than the look if you know what I mean.

in the end I may just convince myself to shutup and stop being an old man. LOL
