Wheel Gap.

Okay. Does anybody have a 92-95 civic hatchback with 17s, lowered, with a body kit, with minimal wheel gap, and not have trouble driving it with regards to speed bumps and scratching? If so, what kit and how low? I've been looking at a 1.5" drop with a Kombat body kit.

Honestly I dont think you will get a straight answer on that, from a suspension standpoint, if you are using lowerimg springs on a shock with low compression rates then there will be a lot of travel at low speeds, I scrape my exhaust my front bumper frequently lower about 2 inches adding side skirts that are 5" or less from the ground could be a problem IMO.

But then again I am not the body kit guy.

Would having 18" wheels give me more clearance and less wheel gap?

yea its gonna help a little bit....

ya, but the ride quality would deteriorate significantly......and 18's look too big on civic hatchs unless you have a gigantic kit
