lowest drop-biggest wheel???
im really wanting some new wheels and tires. this question is like the one poster earlier but my answeres are different than his.
1) i WILL lower car in teh future, around 2 inch drop. also plan on getting a body kit, probably veilside.
2) im more of a show car type of person
3) streets are decent, but there are a few bad areas around, but they can be avoided.
the tires i want are yokohama avid H4, they run only about $100 a pop on tirerack.com but they have really good warranties and they are supposed to ride very comfortable. They are 17's. Where can I find a place that sells some wheels too? Would yokohama be a good choice?

smile.gif Hey whats up! This really isn't an answer to your question. I saw that you are from Kentucky, I'm in Alexandria. So where are you at in Kentucky? Just wanting to check to see if you were somewhat close to me. Later!

HEY
SILVERED TIb
Why do you want sooooo big wheels?
I cant understand that......Try 7x16 with 205 tires and youll be happy(look and performance).
You dont wanna drown your car with 17´s do you???
You should try eibachs(springs and schocks)with 16´s
Thats my opinion...

cool...about the rubbing...that could be solved w/ a harder shocks then right? or is it not worth it? not bad enough to spend the money?

Shocks won't really help you with tire rubbing. The only thing that you could do is either get lowering springs that don't drop you as much, or roll the inside of your fenders just a little. wink.gif
