Re: Upgrading rims and dropping, need help!!

:badass:
These wheel tire combo's are way to big for your car. For 17's use 205/40/17 this is already bigger over all than your current set up or the stock set up. For 18's I'm not 100% sure but I think you use 215/35/18, also much bigger than current set up or stock. If you're worried about bumpy roads your going in the wrong direction, this is just going to make things worse. Either keep you current set up or drop down to 205/50/15 if you want to help smoth out some of the bumps. Also be careful with those TSW's, I had a set of 16" TSW Evo's I bought about six years ago and they bent very easily. I hope they've made there wheels stronger in the last six years but just to be safe don't hit any pot holes hard.
