I got kind of a aggressive setup, I just need more lower. What do you guys think? Setup is 18x9 +27 with 235/40, I wonder if I should put my 225/45 on them for a semi stretched look? I am on S-Techs so coilovers is my next buy for the drop.

So the main thing is that I want to go lower but as it is right now I still scrape up my driveway even at a angle. That isnt my driveway in the pic btw cuz thats easy. I also rather go up my driveway to the garage to be protected by haters and the elements.

What you guys think? suck it up, lower and park outside or dont lower and park in garage?

I have about a 2 finger gap in front and 3 finger gap in the rear. You think I should not lower it? Should I go wider tires to fill gap a little?

Yeah I need to drop it. Yeah their rota's I forgot to take off the center caps, the guy I bought them from put those on. I just needed something to hold me over until I can get some Volks.

Yeah I know. I had no idea the S-Techs were going to leave this much gap. It could also be the angle and because its on a slope. Seems to look a lot better when its level. But I do need more drop, coilovers shall be next.

The lum yellow and lum oragne 57D's are awesome, but the color fades over time. Believe it or not, those wheels don't have clear coats over the finishs. Lum yellow can look sick on orange, but personally I prefer the white.

edit: jayscoobs - Do you think you could put your pictures ontop of one another, rather than next to? It's making this page very wide Thanks!

edit2: Doh! nvm, second page...
