    I was into that big rims phase for about a year.. then I found out first hand how much damage you do to your vehicle and quickly outgrew it. Your car is clean bro, just in the opinion of most people on this board, not as tasteful. It is however YOUR car so do what makes YOU happy.....

    But would't you feel safer if you were speeding with smaller wheels and a lower center of gravity?

    Thanks for all the positive comments and negative ones, honestly my rims are staying on. I know it kills yur suspention and transmission. But the day this car sees the express way is once in a blue moon haha my car is either in my drive way or in school wich is 25 minutes away going 35-40mph. So I'm happy with my car I'm just looking to do some tints. Like35%

    i like how 'everyone' is grouped into not liking big wheels just because a few people say so.

    the wheels look good. the car is clean. i just think it needs to be lowered.

    How can I lower it without rubbing? I put a spacer in the back spring in the mean time while I lower it but I would like to see the smallest gap possible between wheel n fender ?

    N thanks everybody for the positive feedback

    Btw just got my fog and headlight hid setup I'll post some pics tonight!

    Needed lowering with 20's.

    It would have been awesome then.

    And not as hard on the transmission.

    you can lower it and get away with those wheels. most likely you'll have to roll the fenders, though.

    SSC give you about 1.5" drop. Those may be your best bet.

    Looks ok, clean, I was never a big fan of Rims that big, GP or not, but that's just me. I agree tho, maybe 20's and a drop would look a bit better but to each his own. YOU like it then it's all good! )) Enjoy the ride!
