before wheels, lips, tints. i miss running on stock 17s. def more comfortable than 18s.

 

^^feels like you sit lower on 17's as well doesnt it? ( at elast that's how i feel come fall when i throw stockies back on)

 

I had made the decision to stick with 17's but I have a feeling I'm really going to regret it... So I'm thinking 18's with a 35 tire or like a 205/40/18 to get some stretch and make it a little shorter than the stock wheels.

I wanna stay dumped!

 

^im pretty low but my wheels are not that wide. 18x7.5 et 45 and im running 225/40/18.

yea i'm a little lower in stockies.

 

That's the same specs as the wheels I want 08tC. I put my girlfriends rims on my car with a 225/40/18 and I could barely turn, seemed like if I hit a bump I would bend my fender.

I did the wheel calculator and a 205/40/18 tire is 5mm shorter in overall diameter than stock, and a 215/40/18 is only 3mm taller than stock.

A 225/40/18 is 11mm taller than stock, almost half an inch, so I believe with a less wider tire I could stay slammed and not worry about rubbing.

Only thing that sucks is the 225/40/18's are the cheapest, the other sizes are over 100

 

my fenders hit but its not bad. not to the point they're gonna bend. here's a pic.

 

Did you pull the fender lining out? Love the way it looks, if I go with a 215/40/18 tire I can still be just as low and tucking as the stock wheels because it's only 3mm taller than stock, which is like .11 of an inch.

 

Plastic fender wells are gone. Took out that anoying bolt where the fender and front bumper meet. Replaced it with a ziptie. Im gonna run -1 camber in the front. Im at 0.4 right now. I need camber bolts.

 

I hear yah. My goal is to rock an 18, stay the same height, and keep my fender liners in there. I have small holes in the liner already though lol

 

Im at the same height as when I was rocking stockies. I had to take the fender liners out because it was rubbing on a straight line. And I didn't wanna destroy them.

 

Yeah that's why I think a 215/40 or 205/40 will eliminate the rubbing problem because it's not as tall. A 205 would actually make you sit lower than stock wheels because it's 5mm shorter

 

im getting new tires soon but im going with 235/40/18 with -2.0 camber in the back and -1.0 in the front.

 

just lowered my buddy's tC

 

good drop but the color theme on the rims are hideous

 

they look good rolling tho

 

yea but the car isnt always rolling so that color equals fail

 

lol yeah, we are redoing after we graduate

 

I think they'd look better if you painted all of the wheel instead of leaving the "lip" unpainted. Nice drop though.
