Question 18-19" wheels and a drop... need advice

Hey, what do you guys think as far as 18's and 19's with a sportline drop. i want to be aggresively low, but not as far as to rub the wheels.. so what have you guys experienced with them...


.... Also, i am looking for a few suggestions on wheels, beings that the iforged and Hre's i like are way out of the price range haha or if you know where i can get some IFORGED aero's for like a grand... that would be great ha thanks guys

Thumbs up

Here is mine with a '2 drop, I plan on going with the same set up as you. 18's up front and 19's in the back. Later, Mike

BTW, I have no problems and you can read in the post below about the guys with 20's, they are running sportlines as well. It will even out with the low pro tires...

I would go with 19's on all 4

The reason is that the front wheel wells are alot larger vs. the rears, and need as large a wheel as possible to make them look right.

I have 18's with 40 series tires, and even when slammed I don't rub. Pics in sig.. page 2

JUST MAKE SURE AND UPGRADE YOUR SHOCKS WHEN YOU LOWER IT
