18 inch vs 17 inch

I found a great deal on a new set of XD Addicts with 35x12.50x18 trail grapplers. What wound the pro and cons of stepping up to an 18 inch from stock 17 inch. It's a DD and will not see hard core wheeling. Thanks!!

Main con is more expensive in general, and less tire flex. Other than that, not much difference

agree, price per tire is the main con. I personally like the look of an 18' wheel on 35 tires, just cant justify the price

Ok but it seems most online place I've looked 295/70/18' are actually cheaper than 17s. One place was 341 for 17 and 323 for 18. Maybe I'm pricing them wrong but they seem cheaper.
