lol thats crazy, i was in canarsie for awhile
you may have seen the car. e.95th and flatlands
Thats why its time to change it up a bit for me.
a drop low enough to get rid of the gap and still keep my stock struts,
and still keep that lexus suspension feel. im confused on what to drop the car on also. sucks!
and the 18's will be fine for now.

the spacer wont change your wheel width. i guess your asking if the wheel edge to fender line be the same as a 9.5? i would have to ask, what is the offset of the 9.5 your thinking of?

i think 18x8 IS350 was 45 up front and 18x8.5 rear 50

so 45 minus 15 = 30mm the wheel will shift 15mm to the outside, giving you a 18x8 +30

LOL.. i used to see one on every block. i took some shots at Canarsie piers with a member here a while back in the summer.

Care full with the drop, going to low is not practical. i went thru 3 diff. set ups before choosing the right one for my liking. People will tell you drop is nice, which it is, its appealing to the eye, how ever going over Atlantic Blvd, BQE, GC, or whitestone will get you nothing but headaches.

ive changed 2 tranny pans and 1 oil pan along with exhaust scrapes..etc..

Yea they are all over, but when i was out there i used to see one GS all the time and we would honk back n forth in passing, believe it was a Burgandy color but its been awhile n my memory isnt what it used to be..lol
Thats the EXACT reason why i have never dropped the car yet!
Atlantic/BQE even the Belt with the random construction they do in the middle of the night.
i dont want to spend $ on coils xmas time is coming and my son needs the gijoe with the kung-fu grip! lol
i did see Tein CS coils in the classifieds for $300 needs to be "rebuilt" i dont know what that could involve though

i see. ur priority's are in order.. Family first.

I would say go with 18s on stock height for now, the addition of a lip will also make it look a little lower to the ground. i have my coils set near stock with minimal drop @ 1" on 19s, and i love the way it feels. the look is ok, wish i could go lower but i have a Practical mind set. a few weeks back i was on the Hudson heading downtown from westchester, when i saw a GS3 dropped to the pavement, it looked good, but that's all it was good for, he couldnt go any faster than 55, and even then he was scraping ****. I flew by with another G35 at 100
