yes it will matter big time. I am looking to put 17's on my lancer and they say at stock height i wont be able to make a U turn without my tires rubbing.

What kind of springs/coilovers are you gonna use to "drop" your car?

i was thinking tein? i am actually leaning towards just getting 17's. though you can't go to much wider then 205 with 17's nor can you get 35's.

i lowered my 98 lancer 2" with 17" wheels, and it rarely scrubs, only occasionally whilst 'u' turning. it is common to drop them 3" for 16", 2 for 17" and 1" for 18" wheels. i would imagine you would deffinately have to roll your guards for 18s though...

Teins would be awsome. They work very well.

i really don't care if the tires rub if you do a u turn , just means when you do a u turn you can't turn your wheels all the way, you'll just have to do a k turn.

if you drop it you should get stiffer springs anyway. you wont have to much trouble, if you do you probably shouldnt be going those speeds over those bumps anyway ;)... good luck...

Well if thats the problem I suggest that you change your wheels for smaller ones.
