The fronts are 17x7 +38 with 225/45 and the rears are 17x9 +35 245/45. I know some coilovers are different diameters but in general will they clear most coilovers or even all? New to all the coilovers and stuff so just looking for some guidance. Thanks

And sportmaxes in those sizes are UGLY, not mention played out.

Get 17x9 + 35 all around.

Oh I remember you. Your's actually look decent.

They will clear just fine, but with the tires you have, I wouldn't lower it too much. That's what makes them look decent, the bigger tire.

Get some spacers for your fronts to look flush.

Enjoy those eibachs while you can.

Coilovers absolutely ruin the comfort of the car. It'll handle great, but that comes at a price.

Coilovers don't ruin the comfort or ride quality of a car, I have apexi N-1's and they ride nice as hell, Adjust your dampening

+35 is a high offset your wheels will appear sunkin in the fender not good, my wheels are +12 a lower offset so they sit flush with the fenders look more aggressive, Also big balloon tires will look bad, you dont have to stretch the tires but don't go overly big. Get coilovers don't waste a dime on springs or shocks you can find used coils for a decent price. Buying springs and shocks is spending money to make your cars look like a 4x4, 2 inch drop springs are pointless





wheels specs 17x9 et+12 front 17x9.5 et=12 rear
