Default !8" Wheels on Ultra

Considering new wheels for my 07 Ultra. Looking at the Rennegade Tahoe and can't decide what size to buy. I'd like to possibly go with an 18' front wheel and 16" on the back in order to see the front wheel better behind the rotors. Any one running 18's on the front of an Ultra and can tell me if the ride is sacrificed or chanded significantly?

Similar to at least the SE Road King at 18 front and 17 rear...I think. I'm sure you'll get some good real worldreplies but should make for a good ride

I am going to go to 18's front and rear as soon as I burn up the tread on my tires. I like the more crazy look like the night mare wheels
