I think the car may have designed for 18s, and thats why we have a 17 with a tall sidewall now that the 18s fell through. Heck, you could fit 19's in easily with the '05's overall tire diameter

Aren't you trading less sidewall for more grip on the road (wider tire)? And I thought the less sidewall, the less roll on the tire and better handling?

those wheels looked chopped on. They changed them after it became apparent the fanblades would not be available. They did it on the ford website too. All the 05 pics on ford sites with 18"s dissapeared
