I can tell you that you'll feel the road a bit more, but isn't that what you want? I "can" tell you that it doesn't feel like the Army APC Tanks I drove around in the military

It's really common sense. If you go with a lower profile tire, it will feel rougher. That's why 4x4's use very tall tires since it's more rubber and air between the dirt and the wheel.

and what has to be done to fit 18's? In particular, the 18" turbo or turbo look.

I have the 17" Turbo Twist wheels on mine, no spacers. Fit perfect. Pics here:

He'll probably say Boxster like I suggested in earlier posts.

17 "sports classics (off Boxster)
I like the look of the 18 sports classic 2's (3 piece, same pattern,with bolts around the rim-911 ) but roads here are rough,would be feeling 18's
