    245/45/18 are what you want, nothing else, or the sidewall becomes a rubber band and looks silly.

    We have a thread all about lowering in the suspension section.

    Look there for all the info you need.

    probably ~2". eibachs have the right amount of drop, but most complain about ride quality.

    i would get proper tires before lowering. those 18's look silly with that rubber band tire.
