I own a lowered black cavalier (1999, 2.2L), with white corner and bumper lights.

for some reason i am partial to that style of rim... hmmmm.. little iffy about the brand though. Never heard of them.

Netopr · 02-22-2005, 07:16 PM

well yeah they are cheap rims but I am a student and its hard to get some paper :S.... They are better than 15" hub caps though with like 205 15 65 tires

I like the first ones here:

that tire size is wrong for your car. It will throw your speedo off almost 5mph. The correct tire size is 225/45/-17 for 17's wheel and 225/40-18 for 18's. Also they are super low profile and will look ghey.

oh i c

I am realy a nub, can a 215 17" 40 and 205 17" 40 tires fir the same rim ?, whats the difference? I am running 205 right now with my 15" stock rims

Classicrocjunkie · 02-22-2005, 08:28 PM

tisk tisk... your 15" stock OEM wheel should be 195/65/15. Z24 are 205/55-16. You can run really any tire that end with a 17 on a 17" rim. If its not the exact number you need, your speedo will be off and can cause a problem with the cops. If your gettin 17".... 225/45/-17 is the proper size you need.

oh I understand

Netopr · 02-22-2005, 08:39 PM

This website says:

For 45-series tires, you will want a tire that is 205 mm wide

so Ill use 45-205mm or 40-225, Is there really a big difference in heith ?

black

but for 45-series tires, a tire of 205 mm wide will be safe ?

I'm getting the BK-7 18" rims in that same brand. I'm getting the gunmetal rims. I have a white 2.2 4door cavy...like crj's only newer lol. I have yet to lower it though...won't be much since I will be putting 18s on it.

Just scroll down a little bit.

Netopr · 02-22-2005, 09:45 PM

I lowered mine with coilovers and the front came out nice but the back looks almost the same as stock. If I only knew were to buy lower strut upper mounts for the back :/

This is my coilovers: www.vaos.net

They must be cheap shit lol, I bought them on a website without any knowledge. BTW they dont bounce or make any noice at all.

01Cavy · 02-22-2005, 10:15 PM

hell for $300 I'd be pissed if it didn't come out right.

By the way...CRJ you finally get a body kit? Looks good if that is indeed yours.

Classicrocjunkie · 02-22-2005, 10:57 PM

I'm not unvailing what i have done to you guys till this fall when she goes to sleep for winter. Thats just a little taste of whats in store. If my plans work out, all you will see if a body with no engine for a little while and will be recieving some well.... have to wait and see!

01Cavy · 02-23-2005, 10:49 PM

Ah. Makes me wish I had money...I'd drop my 2.2 out and put in a 3.8 and twin turbo it. Then work on the outside
