Obvious question, but want to double check

If i upgrade to 18's i gotta drop it right? Parents wont let me touch the ride height yet, so I think i may just go with some new 17's

No, I have 18's without a drop. Looks wise i mean its about preference. Where I live having a dropped ride is a bizzatch.

Some peeps have problems with alignment when they do 18's...me for instance...so I need a camber kit & springs to straighten it out.

Champ...just remember...camber kits are a tad expensive...

I had 18's without a drop. It looked ok. If you do, learn from my mistake & get a +45 or higher offset. Cause if you do drop someday, you don't want to rub like I did.

yeah, there's nothing as annoying as rubbing tires with wheel-wells. make sure you account for future droppage.

Youll have a huge gap with 17s also. Just convince them you need springs. Or else your gonna be driving a 4x4 for a while.
