2018 Forte5 SX on 17s?

[that.guy.brye]

Would my 2018 Forte5 SX run smoothly on 17s? Its tire size is 18in but I found a set at a very good price so I'm considering to go for smaller wheels.

No reason it wouldn't. You'll get a bit more comfortable ride, not much, just a bit. Just make sure the total diameter of the wheel and tire remains the same or very close so that you don't have to recalibrate the speedo

Absolutely, I'm with you on that! It should definitely work out well. You might notice a bit of extra smoothness in your ride, which is always a nice bonus. Just make sure we keep the overall diametre pretty similar. Do you already have a specific tire size in mind?

Yes, it should run smoothly on 17s as long as the overall tire diameter stays close to stock. A lot of people switch to 17s for better ride comfort and cheaper tires. Just make sure the wheels clear your brakes

Yep, it'll work fine on 17s as long as the tire profile keeps the overall diameter close. Bonus points if the ride feels a little cushier too.

Absolutely, that size will fit nicely. Just make sure to choose tires with taller sidewalls to keep the overall diameter consistent, something like 225/45R17 should do the trick. I'd use a tire calculator to compare with the current measurements.
