To anyone that installed 18 inch rims...

...without lowering springs, how was the gap? I heard that the gap gets bigger (or at least looks bigger) when you put bigger rims on without springs. I'm saving up for rims, and won't be able to get lowering springs until about 2 months after that. I just don't want to be riding around a ridiculous 4X4 on 18's...

it looks kinda funny...but i mean, if my springs wouldn't have been here when my rims were, it wouldn't of bugged me that much...i seen the car withouth springs and on 18's, wasn't bad...but yeh, nothin beats a lowered car...

[OpalaAlero]

Thanks...any other opinions?

[jackal2000]

yeah it does look a little weird at first but i am used to it now. got my springs today though and will have them installed this weekend.

it makes the gap look bigger

[OpalaAlero]

Ok...so its not unbearable?

it depends on your taste and since youre getting springs soon it wont matter just put the rims on, trust me 90% of the ppl out there wont even know the difference, unless theyre ricers in which case you probably dont care what they think anyways.

I don't think it looks good at all but I rode like that all last summer cause I didn't have money for springs, now I have springs and no wheels, lol.

[OpalaAlero]

Ill just buy springs after, its gunna be around summer anyway so i'll be working a lot more and have money.
