#47223, "Thinkin of 18's......should i?"




          

ok i've really and truly thought about this and it's been bugging me. i've got 17" Konig Subs on my car and was thinking of putting the same ones on but in 18"s and swapping my struts and springs to the tokico 5 ways and springs. i originally have a 2.5 drop on mine and the wheel gap isn't bad but with the tokico's i'm looking at a smaller gap and want to fill that gap in. heheheh. anyone wanna talk me out of this.

nah 19's are just too big in my opinion. their just not me. 18's will fit nicely in there not that the 17's don't fit great. i'm just looking for something just a little big bigger but not too big. i just thought of them not too long ago wanting to change out my suspension and such.

man if you get 19's with the eibach pro kit springs and the tokico blues, your car will look sweet, our cars are big on the fender part and would look extra nice
