  1. as far as tires go there are tons of options options as far as sizes, widths, traction, temperature, treadware... imo the 215/45 17 that come stock are small...too thin of a sidewall... honestly 17s might seem a bit small bit if wanting to stay with the 17s then ur options from there would be 225/45 or a 235/45 giving you a wider tire which in turn puts more meat on the ground and effectively raises the sidewall of the tire up just a tad eventhough they are still /45s...this will give you a smoother ride and less jarring....rule of thumb is first number is ur width across the tread in millimeters...the second number is ur sidewall height in a percentage of the width...so a 225/45 breaks down like this...225mm wide and 45% of 225 is your effective sidewall height so if u take the sidewall and lay it over the treads effectively it would be 45% of your tread...thats a break down of tire sizing hoping it would give you a lil better understanding.... now onto 18's... same thing applies with 18s ur options would be a 225/40 18 or a 235/40 18 which will be a bigger tire...therefore with a shortend explination i would go with the 18's even though they are bigger they are lighter setup per wheel and tire for whatever reason a wheel/tire combo in a 17 is heavier than a combo in an 18...hope this helps ur wheel and tire section
  2. for those of us with HID's...the DRL's use a lower voltage than required by the hids to be powered...thus creating a low voltage to the HIDs which makes it hard for the ballast and ignitors to get the bulbs to power up...so if u didnt u would have to run with ur lights on all the time or turn them off while the parking brake is up cause it cuts the DRLs off...thus thats why some of us dislike DRLs so much...
