Putting 18s without altering suspension?

What are the effects of doing this? If I were to put 18s on it, would the car look odd sitting at normal height? If I'm going to put rims on it, I want to go all out and put 18s on it. Also if it doesn't look that bad, then I'd rather just leave the suspension alone. More money for me

Speaking from experience - it will look like the front end is ready to take off!! I put my 18" TSW Trophy rims on just to see what it would look like - looked pretty retarded - then i lowered it an hour later Wish i had pics from the beginning till now of mods it was pretty funny looking!

yo ding. Konig Imagine's. With black opal finish. Ask cheez. He's got them. I made the mistake of getting some other other 18's. Here's the link.

I highly recommend lowering the car before putting on the 18's. My car looked much better dropped, even with the stock wheels on. Once you drop it, then put on the 18's, it will look great!

Check these!

I got 18" Konig Ziege rims on my CL and I don't have it dropped. It does look like a 4x4, but I will get it dropped before the Spring, when I get knew rims.

Yea u really need to drop the car when u get 18s. Trust me. when i had 17s i needed a drop bad too. 18s are worst without a drop..
