Tire size

I live in Colorado where the roads are shit and want to downsize to 18” wheels on my 1M. At the same time want to install the largest rubber I can fit. Any suggestions on a wheel tire combination.
Also, I want to improve the suspension a bit from factory. Thoughts
Thank you.

Using the OEM wheels, you can easily increase the tire size by one or two sizes. There will be no rubbing, and you will get a bit more rubber and sidewall.

If you want to step down to 18s, shoot us a PM for Apex/BBS/HRE/Signature/Forgeline wheels.

The 1M's control arm and bushings are robust. Stepping up to a proper set of coilovers will significantly improve the ride and handling. KW, Ohlins, Nitro are a few excellent choices. Please shoot us a PM to discuss.
