Default New PICs by the Lake: 56k Warning!

Well.. Finally... MY NEW 18" Rims!!!! 8.5f and 9.5r...

God I love these rims!!! ok.. I'm better now.. I don't think I will be dropping the car anymore that it is because I almost scrape on my driveway right now.

Opinions?

yep, I have a pretty large dip on my driveway and several throughout my City. I also fly out every week and leave my car at the airport which has HUGE speed bumps

Looks hawt, but too much fender well space. Either lower it or change to a higher profile tire. Your choice.

If you already scrape, don't give in to peer pressure and lower it to be cool, throw some 55 series on there and enjoy the ride. it'll still be hawt.

Besides right now you have big car V/S little tires. 50-55 series would be more uniform. The only way to pull off the 30 series and 40 series is to have a wheel big enough to compliment the car and an 18 is not big enough by itself, so no matter how low you go on the springs, the wheel/tire combo will still look small and not proper size to the rest of the large car when trying to run little 18's and VLP's on a big **** car..

If it were me, I'd drop it one inch and go to 50 series.
