40 or 42mm, depending on the width of the wheel.

the 42 will fit better, less chance of rubbing on the fenderlip.

don't u think u need a stiffer suspension to avoid "bouncing" into the tire when going over a bump or something. i want 18s but thought i should wait til i do the suspension.


...and yes, I did SEARCH first before asking.

hmouta,

It may not look as cool with big wheel well gaps and 18" rims, but you do not have to do both.

here's my car with 18's before I lowered it. keep in mind this picture is almost four years old now, and my car looks much better lowered with the 18's than it did at stock height with 18's.

Wow, talk about 4x4ing! wink

Dion, I've always liked your car, you must have been one of the first on 18's huh? I remember your car from way back when I was looking at buying mine!
