what would you guys do? i am probably never going to lower my car, and the rims are fairly light. need suggestions.

Why are you never going to lower your car? And if your not going to lower you car, then you definently do not want to get 18's.

i've got the same problem.. but regardless if i were you, i would drop your ride at least 1.2-1.5 inches.. thats not really alot

sportlines with tokico illumias?

 

[irjoshy]

i'm not an expert but i heard that sportlines arent very good for performance.. pro kits would probably be better.. but like i said i'm not an expert.. the guys in the suspension forum know a helluva lot..

Too much, that setup will drop your car 1.8" ... do the prokit with tokico illuminas and you'll be really happy you did [1.2"].

Hope this helps...

I'd stick with 17's on your NT - just for the simple fact that larger rotational mass will decrease your performance...

Isn't that contradictory

Its an nt so what does it matter how heavy the rims are. Quedo if you plan on putting these rims on the gsx you want to get then go ahead and get em. But if not save your money.

I have the prokit/illuminas setup and am also planning on getting 18's, from what I've seen/heard, the sportlines are a harsher ride and most consider them "too" low.
