18s on an 83 300Sd

I found a great deal for a set of 18s with tires for my 300SD. Do you think it would be a good idea to go ahead and put these on. How dramatically would it change the ride from the current factory 15s. Also I will get the car dropped. The back is already low enough so i will just drop the front.

It wont ride too good but the looks more than make up for it in my opinion. I will eventually put 18's on my 126. I say go for it.

Thanks for the input. I think I'll go for it. Also does anyone have feedback about lowering the car?
