First time buyer on wheel & tires, need some help !

[Teamhella]

Hey everyone, Im looking into purchasing a wheel & tire package from Tirerack. Im looking into buying 18" wheels. I know the Versa comes stock with 15's and they are equipped with tire pressure sensors. Do 18's look ridiculos without any type of suspension modification like lowering etc? Tirerack has sensors packages for the wheels, but its an extra $213 and I dont see it as a necessity. I know the sensor light will come on if the sensors arent present. Its probably a stupid question, but can the system be turned off at all? Thanks for the help, Peace.

I just bought 18's for my car....(getting them today)...I just figured that I would pull the tpms out of my stock wheels and just put them in my new ones. I didn't buy my wheels with tires for that very reason(that and I am still debating which tires to get).

I haven't bought lowering springs yet but I do plan on all my mods including a strut tower brace all at the same time, that way afterwards I can have an alignment done and only have to have it done once. I of course will take pics once the new shoes are on, planning on going with 225/40/r18 with the tanabe springs.

This is what it should look like without the springs and umm...I have a sedan. pics courtesy of Tirerack.com with a little editing by me

Please, for the love of god DO NOT BUY DIFFERENT SIZED TIRES FOR FRONT AND REAR!!!

We have a front wheel drive with barely enough power to break the stock tires free!!!! I'm trying to stop you from making a mistake... OH, and you'll have rubbing issues with anything larger than a 215 35 R18...

Why do you need fat tires on the back of a FWD car?
