Dropping & Upgrading Rims and Tires for Dummies
New user. Just got a nice 2002 black TL Type S with a factory body kit and 17' stock tires. I like everything about the car except the tires. I want to get some black rims with slightly bigger tires and drop the car just a bit.
... but I know nothing about tires, rims suspensions, etc
Could someone explain what I would need to do to make this upgrade.
And some help with definitions would be very useful:
Rim size/width
Tire size/width
Suspension adjustments
Springs
camber
offset
And any pictures showing different tire/rim sizes and drop distances would be appreciated.
I live in So Cal so any recommendation on shops that do well with Acuras would be cool too.
Thanks, Casey
How do you upload pics in these postings?
