I just bought 22x8.5 wrapped in a 245/30s. offset is +40.
I want to buy coilovers and lover my car, going after a 'slam look'
what kind of mods would i need to do? any shavings of inner fender?
I was thinking of coil overs because mine is my daily driver, including the winter , this way i can jack her back up, any experiences with coilovers?

 

Might need a slight roll of the fenders. Just make sure you oil the coilovers before winter so the don't rust, and won't adjust. Depending on where you live that is. Im from Canada so rust is my worst enemy.

 

Wheel and tire section..?

I feel sorry for your brakes behind those dinner plates.

 

yea, im in the same boat

 

oh my bad, im new to the forums, if a mod can move this thread that be awesome.

im not a rough driver, so my brakes shouldnt be that badd

 

 

loll, thanks for the picture!
**right click, saved

 

haha, damn you guys are rough.

 

to each their own

 

lmao!!! Wow! You guys are really hard on people. Be nice to people and even better to respect their mod preferences.

 

im kinda liking this stance, i would want to lower the front though,

 

I actually like the stock rims better but you went with chrome so cool choice. I would just get some springs bc coilovers are gonna cost you. good **** man!

 

It's not about that. It's about the weight and OD of your wheel/tire combo.

 

would try the k sports or D2s (pretty much the same). Its going to be a rough ride my friend but good luck. you will probably end up rubbing anyways especially in the back on your wheel wells.

 

 

wow - pic from viperboy - awesome

I would never do anything that crazy, however, at the end of the day - it's what you like and what your personal pref is buddy.

 

Definitely get rid of the gap up front...not as bad as I thought it would look though.

 

how would i do that? could i just order springs fore the front?

 

No you cant, just buy a set and just use the front.

 

Don't listen to the haters KC always has something to say your wheels look fine

 

alrght, how low would you guys reccomend? 0.8 inch drop?

 

Make the gap up front equal to the gap in the rear.

 

those rims are huge lol. drop would be smart. you dont want it to look like a donk. it is a big sedan.

im trying to lower my 05 too but i need some help so if anyone could help me out that would be great!

 

Don't get coilover!!! I bought bc racing coilover n got them install will at first I was 4 1/2 inch lower on my 20" rim n my tire had rubing noise all the time n I'm now 2 1/2 inch lower n still getting rough ride. Tommor my shop gonna rasier it up more.

Anybody know if "bumper stop" need to be cut? Cause manual book said do not cut or remove bumper stop.

 

wheels are awesome, i just think their purpose would be served better on an SC430 lexus or an LS430. i dont think this wheel goes with this type of car.

 

he would drive it:



him too:

 

just get airbags... those rims are huge.

 

Better watch those bumps lol. I got stock 18's on mind and lowered 2 in front and 1.5 in back and it hits everything.
