Your thoughts

I am on the fence. I'm not sure if I like these on my car or not???? I don't know if the springs will settle down more or not from simply doing a wheel change. They are S Techs on 16x8's.

Re: Your thoughts

Maybe that's the problem. I don't like the gap.

I had 19's on it and had zero gap.

Re: Your thoughts

They are all right. May be that bra takes a little away from them though.

Re: Your thoughts

That's a different look for ya, Bro. Of course, that could be the problem since it's such a big change from the 19's. I say run 'em!!


One of our guys just went through the same thoughts when he changed up from 006's to 513's...

Before:



Now:




Change is good!

yes they are.

I'm not sure about coilovers. I'll probably sell these first.

Re: Your thoughts

I still think you should rock 'em, car looks really mean (in a good way). Here's the real question: How do you like the ride now?

Re: Your thoughts

What about running the Monroe struts and df210s in the front, that would give an extra inch drop roughly.

Re: Your thoughts

I definately like the smoother ride due to the larger side wall, but it seems my pep is not as good? Any idea why that would be? I went from 215/35/19 to 205/45/16... WEIRD?

I have KYB shocks and struts which lower it a tad more as well.
