I've been going thru the photo gallery at some 2G TLs and would like to see some pix of anyone that has 18" wheels with stock suspension. I've seen a very few pix so far, and just want to see how long I'd be able to put up with it if at all, thanks in advance.

It'll be 4X4


Get the drop first or you'll regret it (this coming from someone who got the rims first)

you can see my car on the left here. thats on 18 inch adr sokudo 10's, tires are 225/40/18. in my opinion that specific tire wheel combo just doesnt work right. i'd look at my car and think to myself that the 18's looked like 16's because of the huge gap in the wheel well.

if you get 18's on stock suspension witha tire thats 225/45/18 it would look much better .

I had the 235-40-18s on my 01, replacing its 16s for a few days before the Teins went on
It was too funny- got a pic comewhere with a 1 qt water bottle in the gap-
it was `a full hands` clearance, tire to fender edge- when after the drop, people talk about 1.5 -2 finger gap

I figure if I can have the gap no worse than this:

yea my car has 18's on stock suspension.... i personally dont think its that bad... i drive a eg civic hatchback also and that sh** is slammed to the ground.. pain in the ass.

Are those Motegi Racing DV5's? I want to get those in chrome or Gun metal for my Silver Surfer. The car doesn't look bad at all with stock suspension. I am not sure if I want to drop mine because of all the snow I get here in the Winter. It would be worst if I get the Sarona Body kit put on with drop springs. The frost heaves would tear the car apart.

stock suspenson + rims = ftl.

period.

You ever consider tinting the windows? That would be another drastic appearance change. That car would look sharp as hell! I wish mine came with the OEM lip kit.

windows are tinted 35% all around. I would have liked to gone lower, but in RI any tint at all is illegal, so i didn't want to push my luck to much with the po po.

That looks fine to me. I may go 19s if I get wheels with a lip, 18s if they don't

My suggestion is 19s with a spring and shock change (H&R sports & Tokico blues) I have them and love the ride.

serstylz2

I should have specified 18s with the OEM or WW kit and stock suspension... without it looks terrible

serstylz2

Tein sticker.. but looks like stock suspension.. what do you think?

^^^ love the rims (and the car) but with the angle you took the pic at, it almost looks like a donk.

serstylz2

is the wheel gap in the front really that bad without a drop? I thought my Galant was the only car that came out of the factory with 4x4 mode in full effect...



^^ not my car, just reference
