I like them, I have always preferred something simple but with a little edge to it.
But don't listen to me I am all stock!

I see what you're saying but here's my question...

If I'm running the tires at 225/36/19, isn't that suppose to keep the same approx. diameter of the stock wheels/tires? Either way, I still think it needs a bigger (taller) tire. - This is an argument that stawoo and I have been havng but I think I see where she's coming from now.




Again, thanks for all the comments guys! Your input on this is really helping me... I still haven't taken them off yet...

Here. This should help you a little. It's a tire calculator. That's how I did mine.

You and htown have the same drop? I thought he was lowered way lower than you...

I used to be so slammed that I couldn't make it over any speedbump/ramp for the life of me.

+2 for coilovers.

Ok, as of 1:45pm this afternoon, I decided I hate these wheels on my car. They do MY car no justice IMHO. And not my style. I'm selling them... PM me if you're interested... They are not posted in the black market as of yet.

I am now. I lowered it some more this past Thursday. I'm tucking rear stock tires, and close to it on the front. My friend took some pictures, but it was drizzling, and at night, in a crappy, crowded parking lot. So the pictures didn't turn out so well. I'll try to get some for myself on this Thursday. I'll hopefully have my 19"s back on by then.

+3 for coilovers.


Brian, what kind of coilovers do you have? Mine are in mah sig.

I see your Barney purple coilovers...

I got the Barney Green ones to match.

FYI - You were the first to mention coilovers. Thus, I put +2 to second the notion. You're not allowed to support your own aforementioned initial statement with a "+3". It just makes no sense.
