help me decide.

right now i hava a sedan tafetta white, civic 2001. on 18" nakayama phantom GTR rims 215/35/18 pirelli tires.. w/ no drop and it sits 3" off the ground. yes 3". problem is i have a 4 finger gap in the wheel wells. ...

should i A) keep 18's no drop keep the look..

B) go with 19"s either z5000 white or z5000 silver... possibly even c2's or c4's and keep stock height..

or C, go with 19's and drop 1.5" on intrax springs.


main question being will i be highenuff off the road w/ drop? and will i need new shcocks/and a camber kit with the minor 1.5" drop???

riley

Or... you could just get bigger 18" tires and fill the gaps. 225/35/18 or 215/40/18.

yeah thats alot of money.. thinking minimal price. my 18" tires r brand new so it would be stupid to get new 18" tires foir that price i could eget 19's yanno what i mean basically i have about 1200 to spend and i can get 19' s for 1000, i guess u just gotta know me to see exactly what im talking about someone just delete this thread casei i have a feeling everyone will be wanting me to get more of a drop.. etc.
