Need help deciding on wheels

[mikevar94]

Okay so right now I'm sittin on some 17inch evo 8 enkeis. I love the way they look but of course there's still a ton of wheel gap which makes me real mad . Sure I could get some coilovers and drop it but where I live I have to go over two decently sized speed bumps everyday and with the amount of wheel gap I need to delete, it's close to impossible without scraping my exhaust everyday. I really want either some rota grids or so enkei tenjins. I'm hoping 18inch by maybe 8.5 with some decent offset will get rid of SOME gap and poke out a bit. Thoughts?

Umm whell gap is commonly reffered to the distance between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender area.

I think your "wheel gap" is how much they stick out of the whole fender area.

Yeah I know what wheel gap is. I want whatever wheels that I get to poke out the side as well as hopefully get rid of the gap between the top on the tire and fender

Bigger rims might help but a drop, taller tire would do more to fill wheel gap. If you want wheels that stick out get rims with offset or spacers

All you need to do is lower your car. Pretty easy and will improve your handling and looks quite a bit.

Are you trying to achieve a particular look, or are you looking to get the best performance. arriving at a compramise is a bit harder than doing just one or the other. Performance = light, and the ability to use a 40-50 series tire for handling and acceleration due to less rotating mass. Sweet looking wheels are a dime a dozen. all you have to do is go to wheel max or ebay for something that looks nice, but doesnt need to be as functional.
