Ok. Here is what i've been debating in my head for a while now. I currently have a '93 240sx SE Coupe with a set of 18" Enkei wheels along with some 215/35/18 Yokohama Paradas. Shortly after putting those on my car, I got a set of Eibach Prokits and some KYB GR2 Struts all around. Thinking this would get rid of most of my fender gap, WHOA!!! Big surprise. Everyone that looks at my car says, "You should lower that a little." FRIGGIN FRAPPITY CRAP. I'm like...."I have ...you just can't tell...but you should have seen it before...yada yada yada." Attached is a picture so you can see the after. Well, my main problem is, should I stick with the Prokits and eventually (when these wear out) go with the larger 225/40/18 to get rid of some gap, or should I sell my Prokits and get a set of Sportlines? I've heard that the Prokits actually handle better. Any I'm really, really happy with the way my car handles now. What do you guys think?

get the sportlines. wheel gap sucks. and even tho you definately don't have as much as you did, you still have to much i think. it would look a whole lot better with the sportlines i think.:)

Go with wider sidewalls on your tires, if you get any kind of kit or large exhaust you'll bottom out with sportlines and 18s.

I reread that, go with higher sidewalls. : ) Thicker sidewalls, whatever. : )
