Im in the market to buy a coilover system and im buying a Cusco system. Now my thing is that when i do my kit, im goin to run 18x8 in the front and 19x10 in the rear. Bout how much of a drop should i do to make it look even. Im installing fender flares front and back so i know i would have to cut my rear wheel well to make the 19's fit. Rite now im running 15x7 and 16x7 due to the fact that i still have the front 4-lugs on the car but that will all change in the next few weeks, or until my girl gives birth.

gaysey go on AIM. nobody at all is online (atleast thats not sleeping), and im helllllllllllllllllllllllllla bored.

oh and to the poster, 18 and 19 is WAY too big. 17 is the biggest you should go on an S13. Even with the S14, 18 can be tricky to pull off.

you dont want to run a 8j wheel in the front. (crappy fitment) put a 9j up there and it'll look alot better.

^^^^^^that seems a bit much on the functionality side^^^^^^

...and I have yet to meet someone with big wheels and neg. camber who has not regretted it on a street car...a track only car...thats a different story...17's on my wifes car...the car still handles well, the tires are not overexpensive, and the car rides smooth as hell on the highway even on rough roads...You will lose that with 18's and definatley with 19s
