Definitely lower it. It is now riding as high as my Suburban did!

Even better.....Take them back & get 17"s or 18"s max. Look too big & make the car ride too high.

 

I like them.How did they fit on the front? Did you need to use a hub centric ring? I would lower it in the front an inch or two then go from there.

 

i have 18" boyd coddingtons but just wanted 20" wheels too .im a wheel *****..lol..yea i used hubcentric rings and i was thinking about 1.2" lowering springs...

 

I feel 1" would do just nice.. Would give it a nice stance yet enough room to give it a decent feel. Allowing the space in the wheel well to travel north and south...

That's a real smooth lookin' car brotha! Anymore pics??? I too am a ***** of pics.. lol!!!

thanks bro!!!!ill post up pics later or when i lower it..

 

A set of Eibach Sport Lines will make it perfect. Ignore the haters who always chime in with their 17s and 18s. 17" wheels went with the dinosaurs. The tire selection is not nearly what you can get for 18 and larger and if you run a wide rear tire the aspect ratio selection is small and this often means you end up having a taller sidewall on the front than on the rear, talk about UGLY!

The nice thing is, you will have a little ground clearance over the smaller sizes without the car looking jacked.

My buddies GTA w/ 20s and sport lines:


Here's another buddies 88 w/ 18s, they are too small IMO (I have those wheels in 19"...he ripped off my styling idea LOL)

 

Yeah, I think the huge wheels just look wrong on these cars.

 

I like it it's different, i would say a 2" drop you might have to roll the fenders just in case of rubbing, but with that small tire profile leaving a gap won't look good at all. I understand this might not be everyones style but the car looks good and i can apreciate that. What are you planning on doing for center caps though.


ps. the amount of drop will also considerably affect your ride comfort specially with those small tires, it's definetely something to get used to.

 

thanks !!!i like the 20" wheels was just a lil tired of looking at my 18's on the car needed a diferent look...i love your wheels what size tires do you have? and how much did you lower your car?

 

im about to order my springs what 's a good spring to go with i was thinking eibachs what do you guys think...

weight jacks, you can adjust your ride height to your personal preference. Pricey but you can always look for a used set, it's worth the price if you plan on switching rim sizes from time to time as well. read this

The black one is my buddies, I think he has 255/35s all round but not 100% sure. It's got the Eibach Sport Line kit fr & rear and yellow konis, a 2" drop.

 

thanks!!!!

 

id say get a 1.5" drop rims look sick tho..

 

thanks .and 1.5 is what im looking at..

 

Nice color choice.What shade of green is that?

 

thanks !!! i got the color from a scion xb its a stock green looks better in person

 

Nice set up Will a GM center cap fit???

 

i need to puchase the caps but the rear will fit the front ones might fit if i use a spacer..

 

Those wheels look good, and DEFINITELY lower it it will make them fit perfect. Not a fan of 20s but they can look good, just like in your case.

 

thanks bro!!! i like the way they look to..what do you guys think of the k sport lowering springs 1.75 lowering?

 

What engine are your running? Mods? Nice color combo.
