I'm looking to buy new rims and installing an Eibach ProKit and KYB AGX shocks. I'm currently using the stock rims on my 1999 Civic DX (185/65/14). The rims I'm looking at (Velox VX-8R) at 16's and come with 205/40/16 tires. I live in Michigan, and the winters can be pretty bad. During the winter I would want to put on my stock wheels. Will I run into any problems with the suspension or anything like that when i change?

I've had some scraping this year and I raised my car about 1". Depending on how low the ProKit is (I forget) you might run into problems. I took off my exhaust cause that would scrape.

The prokit lowers 1.25-1.5. When you usually scrape, how bad is it? Visible bodywork damage? Or is it just the underside that really doesn't matter?
