Wheels then drop?

Drop then wheels?

If you get the wheels first, how do you determine what kind of springs/coils to lower the car ftw without rub?

Thanks guys, bare with me, I'll get it eventually lol.

 

both...ha!

 

the chicken

 

save for both.

 

If you can't do both, I would drop it first.

 

I thought it was the egg.

 

drop first then rims, looks funny driving around on rims without a drop PLUS after the drop you can decide on how aggressive a offset/tire size you want to run.

 

Thanks llama

 

Wheels first.

Sometimes, with the right aftermarket wheel, you may not need a drop...

 

AHH... yea theres that too

Actually what you can do is, post up how much of a drop your thinking of running/rims size + offset/tire size you want to run, im sure that way you'll be able to make a more infromed decision. DONT FORGET you always have to remember the type of road conditions you NORMALLY travel on/type of ride you want, more comfort or if a harsher ride doesent bother you much.

 

I try to do both at or around the same time. However, if I had to pick, I'd go with the rims first. The rims make a bigger visual impact even if not lowered. For me, both a car with rims and no drop and a car with a drop and stock rims can look equally funny or equally okay depending on the style of OEM rims and stock suspension. Since rims cost a lot more, I'd get that first, then the wait for the drop should be much shorter since if can only cost a few hundred if you get drop springs. Unless you are talking about Air Suspension, then I'd go with the Air first. For me, get the mod that cost the most first, then it makes all the other mods come easier, faster, and seem cheaper

 

drop it first. i'm planning on getting some coilovers soon but can't afford new wheels. i say performance comes before looks

 

i went with rims first

 

I was thinking about the same, either drop or go with rims or both? haha. I would have to buy them at separate times though. but i plan to get a drop before mooncakes

 

I agree with both drop and wheels at the same time because if you do one before the other you will just regret not doing it at the same time.
