Changed my wheels







I know, needs to be lowered some more, can't do it. I don't want to scrape anywhere and my wife also drives it.

could you post specs for those wheels? and honestly it doesnt look like you lowered your car at all. what kind of springs/coilovers did you use? i do like the wheels though.

18X8 +45 offset. And I had Tien HTechs with Yellow Konis installed. A very mild drop which is what I wanted.
I can only find the factory front and back lip but no sides, so I've giving up on the kit. This will have to do.

i like these better.. but you should def. decide to lower it more. even an inch would be good and i dont think that would put you at too much risk of scraping and what not

Yesterday I rented a spring compressor and tried to re-adjust the ring in the shocks but couldnt. Any ideas as to how to do this short of disassembling everything?

Take the shock off of the car, then compress them. Once all the tension is off you should be able to (with a big ring pliers open the ring enough to slid it down. You will want to get an alignment afterwards though.
