    My word, full of questions, aren't you!

    Just a little note.... I've moved your post to a more appropriate forum - makes it easier for people to find subjects that are 'on topic' (and makes life easier for us poor mods) :$

    And as for my opinion, I would say Lowered, but reconsider 16s.... As has been discussed in a thread before, 18 inch rims and 225/40 tyres shouldn't slow down alot.

    .... but does the ride not suffer on 18's due to less profile in the tyre?

    I wouldn't like to sacrifice the ride just for looks... :$

    Doesn't bother me....but then I haven't driven one on 16's or 17's so I have no comparison.

    Still, it's advisable to steer clear of cattle grids!
