Can someone, please, use their skills to help me decide something?

I want to either:
a) lower my car a little bit or
b) buy taller side walled tires to fill in the gap between my tire and wheel well? Maybe 225/50 18s?

Thanks!

dude i've seen ur car around! u are from the bay area right??

you know buying taller side wall tires will screw up ur speedometer, right?

you shouldnt need a photo shop pic to deside this one............just go with lowering your car instead of going with the bigger tires to fill the gap.
just my opinion

i jus noticed the clear corners

Yeah, main! I'm in the Bay! I'm usually between and around Vallejo-Berkeley-Daly City-South City-SF areas. Where you at?

Yeah, it'll be slow by 1.8%. I don't really want to be lower though, I've had lowered cars and hate having to scan the road and hit bumps at weird angles.

If anything, I'm looking into either RB springs of Tein Basics.

sooo...... :scratchhe

actually going for 225/45/18 to 225/50/18 will put your speedometer off by 3.7%. the overall tire diameter is increasing about an inch. 3.7% is a pretty big difference.

just go springs. and honestly, lowering the car an inch will not require you to worry about speed bumps unless you speed through them and hit because of your dampening. nor does it require you to angle a lot (if any). the only time you will really start having to worry is if you add any lip or whatnot. i had the car lowered almost 2 inches with stock front and the only time i angled was very slightly when going up steep driveways.

Captain Mercury,
There's no break in my logic. I said that I didn't REALLY want to be lowered. I also, said that I would lower OR get taller tires. Furthermore, I stated that if I did lower, I'd only go a little bit...Don't try and clown, homie...I'll take you back to the O.C.

NGORx8,
Thanks for the tip. Yeah, maybe I'll go about an inch. So, you don't think shocks would be warranted? Do you know anyone who has only gone springs? If so, can they tell the difference between the ride quality of their current setup and stock?
