    Talking help with wheel sizes

    hey i am looking at upgrading from stock 15"s to either 17" or 18"
    i am also looking at lowering my car too.

    if i get the 17" i will put super lows in, but if i get the 18" i will put lows in.

    which would be a better combination for everyday driving? - or neither?
    any advice will be taken on board!
    Not the brightest tool in the shed

    well nothing will beat the comfort of the 15's..

    18's n lows will look best, but will be a solid ride.

    17's will be in between.

    18s are SLs is fine imo. 19s and SLs is bad.

    Anything smaller than 18s and higher than SLs is okay imo.

    Can't beat stock height and 15s though

    I changed from 15's to 16's and it feels great. better handling with less roll around corners. ya can feel most bumps on the road though.

    I have 17's and lows. Looks reasonable. handling is vastly improved (made many suspension mods though) and running Falken FK452 235/45/17's

    Get yourself a font strut brace from whiteline to tie the top of the struts together, while your at it. Works wonders for bodyroll and steering feedback.

    With this setup without a rear camber adjustment kit, you will chew out the inner edge of the rear tires. be warned.
