This is my last car with 17's
And this is my current Subi on 18's.
Planning on upgrading to 40-series tires next time.
It all boils down to setting up the suspension correctly. It handle good either way. I'm lowered on coilovers and track the car. I prefer the direct feeling the 18's provide over the 17's. and the larger brakes are a big plus on the Track. Everyone I've given rides to complements on the ride quality, for being a street legal track car.

IMHO, oftentimes, 18s are too large for the car (classics), even if just by sight. I personally can't deal with tiny sidewall.
Here're my 17x7s, car's dirty, small brakes, etc. (Dunno why the pic is tinied)
