man this tread took off...nice job painting the calipers I would show my wife but then I would be rollin around with the yellow and pink clash.........o-yeah, I would highly highly recommend not getting 18x7.5 rims, ride quality will suck and that wheel gap in the front will make you look like a monster truck (maybe I'm exaggerating abit)but I'm tellin you to think it over I wish I would have I lost like 300 bucks sellin them ....
I understand that ride quality will change, but I should get no rubbing - I have spoken to a tire shop in town, and one online, both said 215/35R18 would be best since there will be no effect on the speedometer and no rubbing.

here is what you requested
Looks like there's hardly any change to the speedo! Diameters are almost the same.

Ya know, the soft pink does not look that bad on a white ralliart. It actually flows well because white is a soft color, good job on the paint, it came out very nice. Those Motegis would look so nice to compliment the car, just don't get 18's... stay 17's. You will notice the car will feel slower and look akward since the ralliart doesnt have such a mean stance or bigger fender wells. Also congrats on getting a stick, I know of only two girls that actually got manual transmissions ralilarts, the others got autos. Sometimes I wish I got a white ralliart instead of black, 
... because there is a girl, a living and breating one in our forum.

I've got a manual RA! Guess you know of four girls with them now, lol.
Nice job on the calipers! I'm going to paint mine red or black sometime this summer.
