Seen a set of GXP wheels and tires on Ebay. Would it be a worthwhile upgrade from 17'* to 18.* ?
I'm going to need to be buying tires soon either way

If the profile changes too much you will need either a custom pcm (intense) or a set of transmission reluctor gears to re-calibrate the speedo.
The bigger wheels are a little harder to move so your 0-60 times will get a bit longer and some say the ride is a bit rougher too.
