I Need Pictures!!!

Well I don't really NEED them, but I'd really like to see them. Any of you with pictures of your car sitting on 18's with stock suspension let me see. I'm geting my rims put on in the next week or so depending on the weather, but the drop will have to wait until May or June, so I just wanna see what I'm in for. Thanks!!!!

So do larger diameter rims increase wheel gap? Or is it just the appearance because the car would sit higher off the ground/

The wheel gap is the same as with stock wheels & tires. It is just more noticable with bigger wheels and lower profile tires. The overall diameter does not change when you go to bigger wheels b/c you offset that change with lower profile tires.

yah they're illuminas... and the rides are really really good / sick lol... so far im satisfied with them as well as the h&r's but i didn't think i was going to run into any problems with the 18's that are on there... maybe its the weight in my trunk i do have a sub set up but i don't want to get rid of that for the wheels...

to KABIRUTA13..the rubbing problem on the rear of your car might actually be the wrong offset of your rims?? check them out cause i have 19in axis and have never rubbed. hope it works out for you bro.

Seems like this is where the problem starts. H&R's on Housecor's website has showed that these springs are lower in the back than of that in the front.
