I think larger diameter tires will actually make the wheel gap worse...

Anyone have wheel gap pics of Eibachs/Intrax/H&R/etc..?
1)On stock 17" rims
2)On 18" rims

Thanks, I'm just wondering if 1" is enough, since I'll need new springs when I get AGXs. Any

Ummmm . . .

Larger diameter tires will decrease the wheel to fender gap by about half of the tire diameter increase. The other (again, approximately) half of the tire diameter increase shows up as an increase in ride height. What remains constant is the spindle height relative to the body.

what I meant was that larger tires will make the gap seem worse than it is... If you go up in wheel diameter (eg 15" to 17"), you still want to maintain the same overall wheel + tire diameter. So, the overall diameter should not change...

Here is a easy way to lower you car, GET A FAT GIRLFRIEND! I had one when I had my first max b/c I was too cheap to buy some springs and pay someone to put them on. But for those two weeks I spent a thousand on her.
$500.00-buffets
$175.00-misc. snacks
$325.00-new seat
Filling in the wheel gap of your car, priceless!!!!!!!!!!!
