If it were me I'd put lowering springs on for the stiffness, not the lowering. Would you want to put a 20" rim into your fender?

yea i was wondering about lowering it..didnt know if i would have to or not..my bro said the car almost scrapes as it is so i shouldnt do it but i dont know..even if i was going to i wouldnt be able to do it ANYTIME soon since im out of money...and as for the low pros, i was asking if i even had an option as to go low pro or not? i thought they automatically would be..the guy didnt even ask me. what would be the difference anwyay? im not up on what differentiates a regular tire from a low profile one. someone explain please.

the appearances basically...the rims will stand out a lil more you know...and don't lower it...also the disbenefits can be your rims can get scratched easier when cornering a turn,if you hit a pothole at full speed,you're more likely to bend the rims so yeah i got low pro's...i'm going to go lower right now i got 235/40 18 i'm going to drop them down to 225 40 18

Rims look nice. I think those rims in 18-19 inch + getting it lowered woulda looked better in my opinion.

Looks good though.

Will look tons better once you get it lowered. The stance of a car makes a huge difference in appearance. Rims look good though

thanks but i dont think i will be getting it lowered..for one i dont have the money and then it already scrapes when i go over certain speedbumps so i think if i lowered it then im just asking for damage on it..if it was just for show then yea but not for the car i drive around in all day

I'm not sure where you are located, but in Ohio, it is a law that you must have an un-motified reflector on the back of your car. I had some tail light covers on my Z71 and got pulled over for it. The Sheriff made me tear them off on the spot. They broke while doing so too.
