    Default 18 Inch rims`

    Hi Ive been looking at upgrading my initation Vr Clubby rims with some 18 inch Blitz items but im not sure if they will fit on my car the whole suspension is standard apart from some monroe gas shokies on the back that i put on a few months back i was wondering wat if any mods have to happen to the suspension to fit these 18 inch rims i also want to get my car lowered i got a set of king springs just the low springs not the super lows i think the back they just go on np but the front i think i need new struts and my mate told me to get a camber kit and a rear panhard rod or something and a front strut brace im not to suspension aware so im not sure wat to do any help would be great

    lol...18" will fit and still have tonnes of room....you'd only need to do things like rolling the guards if you went really low... (although i didnt and i got superlows)
    depending on what your car has...irs or live axel...you need a camber kit for irs and an adjustable panhard rod for live axel....you dont need a strut brace.
