Why don't you ask RACV if they will cover you with 18", its not that large of a change, fair enough if it was 20's you wanted to put on there. Or just do it and don't have an accident.

i thought the 2 inch law thing wrong? i thought that as long as the overall rolling diameter of the tyre is the same, then its perfectly legal.

I believe thats correct but the 2 inch law (I think) applies to S.A only.

Whats going to be the better option 17 or 18s tires size replacment. How much extra are 18 tires going to be?

Maybe an extra $40 or $50 per tire for 18's. Depends on what brands you are buying. It could cost you more than that.

oh not to bad. Probably go 18's. 17's just look to small these days.
