I'm thinking maybe some sportline springs (for now) and maybe some 5mm adapters. Wert, you'll have to show me the 1" adapters at a meet. I'd be fine with flush for right now until I drop money on coils and new wheels.

how many you guys rubbing or dailying that low with that much poke/flush? Any compression of the springs would rub hard. Do you just put height back in with coilovers for dailying?

"make car as undrivable as possible for maximum street cred", I am trying to get away from this mentality when going for the right look on my car but I just see a lot of scraped/bent fenders, cut up tire sidewalls, and no fun on the crappy crappy roads here on the way to my base.




I ordered blanks to be drilled at 5x110, 35mm offset on an 18x8 wheel. Hoping to just be flush or just under that on a 225/40

right now idk 18x7 215/45 a bit higher off the ground plus the rear is up 1in to help with the 45 series
