18's with stock suspension height

Is there any way possible to have 18's and still keep the stock suspension height look? I want to get the G-game sidewinders in 18's, but don't want that look!

Another thread about this??

18's with 225 even 235/40's will have a gap at stock hight.

Would the A-spec drop be enough to lessen the wheel gap enough?

Wasn't enough for me. I went with the Tein SS and had to raise it 1/4" from their reference value to get out of my driveway.

Depends on what you're going for. I think that kind of drop would be about perfect. Plus it isn't that much lower.
If you want to get the Tien SS just learn how to get out of your driveway sideways instead of straight on.

Like I said in another thread, my drop is 1.5" in front and it more then clears speed bumps, steep driveways, parking blocks, etc...Dont even bother with the Aspec...

I am also getting Sidewinders that are on order with PS2 tires. What did to make it look good and still get performane with harsh ride is A-Spec suspension (lowers the car 1 inch) and then get 18 inch sidewinders with 225/45 series tires. Yes I know that the 235/40 is a better match (revs/per mile), but the 225/45 series will fill out the gap even better with the A-Spec suspenion in place. My Acura rep that knows a lot about aftermartket wheels and tires also agrees with me.

What do you mean by "harsh" ride?
