I am just about to get ready to lower my car, I am gonna get it proffessionally done, but I have a question. I want to add the AAS body kit on that after I lower it. and put 18 inch rims with low profile tires on. Now with all those things combined, my questions are as follows

1) How Can I lower my car before I start scraping and ruining my body?

2) What is the biggest size of tire i can fit on an 99 alero sedan gl?

3) Low profile tires? good idea or bad?

4) Boxers or Briefs?

Boxers!

1. 2 inches is all I would do...but then you will ruin shocks (even aftermarket).

2. Depends on the wheels

3. I like em on bigger wheels but see no reason to go below 50 series on a 16" or smaller rim.

4. Boxer Briefs

1. if ur gonna put the aas kit on, u probably will start scraping the kit when u pull out of some places when u lower the car, but i cant say for sure.

2. if u go with 18s, you'll want to go with 225/40/18, or some people prefer 235/40/18 to fill the wheelwell a little more, but either will work.

3. are u talkin about for 18s or stock wheels? for 18s, you'll have to go with a pretty low profile tire, but for stock wheels, stick to the stock tire size.

4. it's all about the man-thong. :thumbsup:

So no matter what rim or tire size i will scrape my body kit when i get one? . I was thinking of 18 inch rims, and not lower it, but if i get low prof tires it will have a big gap in the wheel well right? then i have to lower it...so pretty much after I get the AAS kit, i have to be extremely careful where i pull out and into right? any stories you can tell me about or share about this certain mod?

boxer briefs are the bomb all the support for the fruits

basically, if u drvie your car every day, and put a kit on it, you're going to be breaking stuff (ie cracking your front bumper) from time to time.

just get air ride, and when your pulling out of places, raise it, than lower it for normal driving :thumbsup:
For 18 inch wheels, get 325/40/18

I can't believe you actually looked for man thongs..man o man, that is the grosest thing i have ever seen, I wonder what are the requirements to be a "man thong" model. Anyway, on topic now, I am gonna crack my aas kit no matter what..man that sucks. makes me iffy..cuz where i live there is a dip from where the sidwalk is to my driveway, and I have to go in and out slowly so i don't scrape--even with stock bumpers and lift..this sucks...that thong sucks..white isnt' my color..i like black. h34r:
