Default 18in rims and Saleen body kit

Need an opinion. I will be adding the Saleen body kit to my wife's GT. Do you think the rims I currently have on the car will go or do I need to change them to a 20 in?

That's going to be a very subjective question. The better question is will YOU like it more.

I like the tires and wheels you have right now.

After the body kit goes on, see what you think. You could probably get the tire dealer to throw on a set for you for comparison.

If you lower it after you put the body kit on it will look good. If you leave it at stock hieght, it might look a little funny.

I am torn between the 2 differents sizes. I love the rims I have now just not sure how it will look. As far as lowering it I am hesitant to do this since it is my wife's car. Not sure how the nose will take the abuse.

Have to agree with Bish above...

There are alot of guys who only lower the rear of the car to balance it out since the front sits lower. You could try that and if you don't like the look with the 18's, just step up to a bigger size.
