HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP :)

heres the deal

My 203 runs a staggered setup like most if not every other w203?..

thats not the question
this is :

Would I be in jeopardy of ruining any of my cars factory system/alignment/camber/ etc.. by going 18/8.5 all around?

Would my steering SUCK?

I dont have enough experience of my own to actually go through with this yet I wanted to ask you all .. the gurus

BTW I am in the process of taking pics of my car (still stock)

on the way I have a cf trunk and roof spoiler from suvneer!!
Smoked bumper lights (i am going with the silver with black theme)
Cl flat black grill
and flat hood emblem.

THANKS !

depends on the weather
18x8.5 on all four corners will not hurt your car at all ... as a matter of fact many people prefer what is called a "squared" set up as it promotes tires life (you can rotate the tires) and neatral handling characteristics.
