Ok I am planning on getting some rims. I want to get 19x8 in the back and 18x7.5 in the front. I would also like to lower it as much as possible without it rubbing. What do you guys think? Also how much should I lower it if I get 18" on the front?

Thanks

I have 18's and I put on intrax springs and I really like how low it is. You can always put on air bags "Talk to forbidden he has best prices on air" or im not sure if ebach springs would rub.

I think Intrax is 2" standard. Thats also about as low as you can go without having to do anything else to you suspension. You might want to look into lowering the rear more than the front if you want 19's in the back.

It souns pretty sweet. Cheers mate

Well thanks for your opinions. I was told 19x8 would fit so I am going to try it and if it is to wide I will have to do something about that.

19x8 will fit but you'll have space the rim out to clear the strut. so then you get the tire close if not even with wheelwell lip and springtech or intrax are not stiff enough to stop it from hitting the tire.

the eibachs dont rub at all...only lowers about 1.25"...but its equal all the way around..so the front, like from the factory, is slightly lower in the front, as it is supposed to be. i dont like it when guys get cheapo springs (cough sprint cough) and then have the rear end sagging.

and like oldsman said..you'll need spacers for those 19x8's
