RE: What does everyone have for Wheels

My car is dropped with Eibach springs. I believe it is 2" front and back. WOuld i be able to run deep dish wheels without rubbing or is it going to be close.

RE: What does everyone have for Wheels

What do you guys think?

I have the stock bullits in the front and the 18X10 DD bullits in the back. The car looks pretty sick and gives it a nice mean look. I've been thinking about getting 18X9's DD in the front to match but can't make up my mind [&:]

Do you have a picture of that? I was thinking 17 and 18's might look good, plus there are wider tire choices in 18 inch.

17X8 black bullitts on the front, 18X10 deep dish black bullits on the back.

Sure.

Damn thats quite a setup! I LOVE the raked look. The front of the car looks so much lower than the rear, it looks like you have smaller wheels on the front, it looks sweet. Did you lower the front only or what? And do you have any pics from the side, like.. not at an angle.. Id love to see just a plain side view! Couldnt find any in your mass of funny pictures in PB though lol.

This is about the only straight on side shot I have, but I didn't use flash in that pic so its hard to tell where the tires are. I like the slanted side views better because it brings the raked look out more, whereas the slant is not as noticeable from straight on the side.

It helps that the rear tires are about 1 1/2" inch taller to. Like I mentioned, i'll go with 275/40/18's in the front next time. First because there is enough room for the added width, and second because when I lover my car with the Steeda Sport Springs, those springs drop the rear an extra 1/2" (if I remember correctly) and definitely won't help with the raked look. The 275/40/18's are 1/3 of an inch shorter than the 255/45/18's, so that will help me get the rake back after I drop her. That was probably way to much information for you though lol.
