I just put a set of 18x8 TSW trophys on my 1990 Max...I am going to do the suspension next week probally, my question is how hard can I drive with the 18's on the car.....I know I have to watch out for potholes and all that, but can I still drive agressivly like I do...Will anything happen to the rims...

I got the same wheels on my max. Had them almost 2 yrs, never bent one. They are a very durable rim.

Yeah sprint is right if the rims are not durable they will bent or crack and maybe you might have to replace the tires.

Well if you couldnt whip around like you did on your smaller rims, there wouldnt be much point in the 18's now would there be? Jk, as long as your not jabbing off curbs and stuff, you should be able to use those rims to the MAX(ima).
