and you'll be needing more than a 2in drop. maybe closer to 3.
what kind of look were you going with your car? if you wanted the more West Coast Customs look, 18's are fine.
if you wanted more of the sport compact look, 17's max.

sorry to interupt this chat but i dont know jack shit about suspension...well maybe some basics but can someone explain what offset is?? cause like this guy stated above that you needed an offset of 45+ so it wouldnt rub the wells.

1.5-2.0 brings the car down to a respectable wheel gap position.
As for the question in this thread...look at the gallery and browse through the cars and see what you like.
