Default wheel question...

I have a lowered 99 accord lx with 18" rims with tires(205/30/18). I am thinking about putting on 15" honda rims and factory tires(195/65/15). I dont know what mods were done to the suspension.
How do yall think this will affect my car? Raise or lower it?
I know u cant be for sure till u put them on, but what would you expect to happen?

Also any deals on tires going on?[/align]

It'll probably sit a tad lower even though overall diameter of the wheel/tire combo won't change much.

Jack up one corner of your car and take a pic of your springs/struts and see if you can see a manf name on them.

when i go to http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.html and compare the 2 size tires i listed in my first post, the stock has greater radius of 1 inch. so wouldn't that mean the car should be 1 inch higher? or am i not considering the effects by the suspension.

i will try to find some time and jack it up and check out the springs. i am busy now with exams, so maybe towards the end of the week.
