Wheels for the guys that know..

[redfurry]

Just a question for the guys i trust at dsm tuners(wich is all of you) are 18's to big to put on my lowered first gen dsm? i'm getting this body kit for it(sounds pretty fast and the furious i know) but i was woundering if they would be to big for my car?
i figured since the car itself was a pretty big car 18's wouldnt be that bad, but yeah. I can get the same wheel in a 17 also. so i was just trying to decide. posting picture of wheels.

17's are the biggest I would go with a 1g, save the 18's for the 2g's.

I agree, the 18''s are a little to big for the 1st gens, i personally think 17's fit perfectly under a 1st gen. But it also comes down to personal preference.

I have 18's on mine and they fit just fine they also have a similar look as the ones posted. I will be doing a swap to 17's but only for weight purposes.

I also had 18x7.5's on my old 1g awd lowered on Tein springs and KYB Struts. Road great and never rubbed.

How wide are the rims. You should be ok if you go with like a 7.5 wide rim. No larger or you will have rubbing problems.

to tell you the truth. i just liked them, and the link said they would fit any eclipse. so i just trusted the link, so umm. i'll have to look closer into it. ha. but yeah. idk. i would like to buy boostedinaz wheels if he's taking them off and putting lighter and smaller ones on. so yeah. idk. cool. thanks guys. and is it easier to change the struts and springs and things all at the same time or what?

The spring and struts are one peice. So if you do one you might as well do both. I bought a cheap spring compressor and did it myself. It was easier than I thought.
