ok im about to buy some rims but i dont know if i should get the 18x7.5 or the 17x7. im not sure the reason being because im gonna get lowering springs but i dont know how low the drop is with the rims+tires you know? like i dont want it to rub. any suggestions? i was thinkin the 17x7 is the way to go with the Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs from turbo tech. but im also getting the gravana kit and i dont know how low itll all go.

rims look heavy.

 

I am droping mine this weekend with the sportlines, i have 18" X 8" with a 40mm offset, i will post how it all fits

 

do the rims, then do the drop after so you know how much drop you'll need

 

 

I would also liek to know. Planning on dropping my car with 17's or 18's

 

nah kyowa has 18's that have much more rim and weight in about 21 22. Those in 17's should be somewhat light.

 

yeh chevy powered just let me know how it all fits with the 18's

 

holy crap i love those rims! where can i get them?

 

IMO wait and find a good set of coilovers. There's nothing that beats adjustable ride hight. Get a good set of coils then buy rims, and try and stay away from bigger rims i.e. 17'+ (unless you don care about your cars aceleration handeling and braking.

But thats just my $0.02

I agree totally...both about the coilovers and the rims. If you want the best performance they're both the way to go.

 

Nice rims....LOL Looks almost exactly like mine...lol

FYI I have ALT Sonix size 18x7.5 42mm offset and I dont think you will have any problems droping with sportlines as long as you dont use 235-40-18s as I think they might rub. This is waht I have.
Use a 215-45-18 and you should be fine.
My rims come in at about 20lb each. The 17s should be about 18.5 or so each.
