18's on a non-lowered GSX?

[a_scobel]

I need new tires..just got the stock 16's on it right now..I'm not really planning on lowering my car, but I was wondering if I put 18's on, would my car look funny with 18's if it 's not lowered, or would it effect performance at all? Thanks.

it would look defintely funny but make shure some lowering springs are next on your list

I have a pic in my Gallery of my GS-T stock with 18s. I know that the ride height is slightly different between a stock GS-T and GS-X but it will be close enough to give you an idea of what it would look like.

yea i had stock suspension on my GS with 18s for about a month or so... i hated every second of it. The fender gap looked hideous and i wanted to shoot myself for not lowering it and putting the wheels on first. save yourself a headache and slam it when u get yo shitty put on.

you better plan on lowering ur car.. it would look so funny i would call it an SUV.. .. lower that biatch.. please lower it.. it would just look odd, something not right, missing something, weird, obvious, etc etc.. .. even wen i had my gs-t with stock 16s it was too high.. hated every second of it..

how come u dont want to lower it?

Hm ok you guys talked me into it..haha..& I didn't go with the 18's, I went with 17's. I originally wasn't planning on lowering it because I didn't wanna have the hassle of worrying about speed bumps, curbs in front of parking spaces, etc. My friend dropped his eclipse like 1.5 and we went over this speed bump..i was like "Come on man you can make it, it's a little one" yea..he scraped bad...but I guess I will lower it! How much, total, would it cost to lower it just 1.5?? Will coilovers be all I need or do I need springs or what.
