The front still has LITTLE bit more gap than the rear. But not as much as before. By the way, my rims are 16' with 225/50s. With 17's, the wheel gap will be even less.

And what do you all think of my wheels???? Opinions on the wheels will be more appreciated than the opinions on the drop

 

 

in the first pic, it looks like the rear is sagging a little, but it is not. It is just an angle effect. The car is even. But I want the front to be lower because when I have cargo or passengers in the back, the rears gonna sag some.

And did you all know that taking good shots of cars is VERY difficult? It nees practice. You have to master the angle. The 3 shots above are my best ones out of 50.

 

The rims look tiny, shoulda gone with 17's

id like to see. but daily account bandwidth exceeded.

sucky.

 

The drop looks fine to me. Though do consider getting bigger rims. It may just be me but your car now looks like a glorified go kart - in a good way

 

wow, your rims do look kind of small and when u sportin a nice car like a 5th gen, you definitely should be going big tymers with it (skirting on 22's *joke*) but your tires look real thick...a lot thicker than my aftermarket tires with my chrome rims (not in pic)....but looks real good on your car man...i didn't know you dropped it and thought the extra size of the tires took up the extra gap left with our dam maxima's....but u definitely need to be rocking 18's....oh well...u have 5th gen...no one's touching you right?

 

where did u get the springs from?

 

def. need larger rims. I bet you went with 16"s because Fittipaldis are $$ in larger size?

 

Did you install yourself? (springs)

 

The drop looks good, but I'm not feeling the rims. There's too many lines on the rim. The rims also look a bit small. Some wheels just look smaller than others of the same size and I can't figure why. It must have something to do with the size of the spokes in relation to the hub and visual space within the rim. I've got 16" Kosei K1s and they look really big for 16s. People constantly mistake them for 17s. Look at the pic below and see if you think my K1s look small/big.

Yeah, my wheels are really small.

I got them for $650, including tires installed.

I was in need of 4 new tires, which would cost me $400 at the local Merchants. So i told myself why not spend $250 more and get the wheels as well. Even though they are small, it's 1 million times better than the performance GXE wheelcaps!

I'm gonna get 17s really sooon. I got the springs from ebay, and i installed it myself.

 

looks pretty sweet .. the rims def look a little tiny ... but that doesn't matter cause it looks real nice

 

disagree on the hubcaps. You can take 'em off you if you hate them so much, but those 15" steel wheels weight only 15lb each and once your car is in motion, no one really sees the difference. Those tiny 15" tires can be bought for 250 all 4 installed, just shop around. Thats why I preferred to hold off for a long year and a half but I will put on some 17"s or 18"s to improve the handling/looks.
My stock 15"s tires will last me another 10-15K mi, I'll keep them to use in the winter.
