What size rims and how low is your 1g?

[cagleje]

i'm looking at getting rims and upgrading the suspension (springs and shocks) soon. i just wanted to know what kind of set ups you guys have.

FAQ this

That said, what you should run depends on your goals. It is all there in those links. If you have more questions after reading up, post 'em.

I read over the FAQ's and that cleared up some of my questions.

 

[eclipsh]

So what are the ones they didn't answer?

My wheel/tire/suspension setup is in my profile. I've posted up issues with clearance on the Evo wheels elsewhere if you're curious about them. A lot of racers prefer the 16x8 3kgt wheels. Suspension will really depend on what you want to do. So what is it?

 

[cagleje]

Pretty much the same setup you have. eibach pro-kit spring, kyb shocks and 17' looking at the new tenzo dc-5 or dc-6. My car's used for daily transportation more than racing. But i occasionally go to the dragstrip.

I will jsut throw my setup in. I am running 18x8's (40mm offset) With bfgoodrich g-force t/a's. I have 215/40/18's. The tires seema little skinny, but they seem to put about the same amount of rubber on the ground as my old 225/40/18 tires I had on my old rim and tire setup. Oh, I am also lowered with megan racing 2" drop springs.

How does that work for you? mostly how does the springs work out. was looking at those as a possible choice.

I am running 18x8's with a 43mm offset. 225/40 tire and JIC FLA2 coil over's.

18s are the last thing you want on a DD that goes drag-racing.

No, wait. I take that back. 19s would be the last thing.

The OP would best be served by 16s (for ride quality and longitudinal grip), but could compromise to 17s if handling also matters.

I like them. I used to have a set of cheap coil overs on it when I first bought it. The ride isnt bad at all. My new tires also help. The bfgoodrich g-force tires are awesome!! They are very quiet and the dont give a rough ride at all.

hmm cool.yeah bfgoodrich tires are awesome. but 18' are too big for me. I don't want to go any bigger than 17's. do you have any pics from the side. just wanna see what it'll look like with a 2 inch drop.
