because springs are way softer than most coilovers and your gonna rub to **** on all turns or wereever your suspension compresses

^duuuude - go 10 wide!

mine are 18x10. I just went with a modest offset.

imo, +25 on a 10wide looks pretty good w/a good size tire (~255/35)

Word. I'm 17x10 +25 and the wheels fit amazing 18x10 should look dope. If I was to go lower I think it would be hella flush approved. But there's no way of going lower with a MS bumper on NYC streets fml.

That should look pretty good angelo. 1/2 inch isnt to big of a difference, just streach the tires a little more

yeah angelo get 10s and run a smaller tire easier way to break traction, if single came 240s can run 11s and break traction woth 90hp an 8 can do the same, just run like 225s on the 10s and run some hard compound tires that aren sticky like nexens n ****
