mjoon161 · 05-23-2008, 11:24 PM

Hey all,

Just want all of your opinions, should I lower or not?

1WickedE90 · 05-24-2008, 12:15 AM

Looks perfect, no drop needed

Nikos335i · 05-24-2008, 12:24 AM

Looks fine to me!!!

eazydoezit · 05-24-2008, 12:30 AM

Looks good as is

AJerman · 05-24-2008, 12:37 AM

Wow, what are those, 20s? Those wheels look really big. They seem to fill the fenders just fine already. Doesn't look like it needs a drop to me.

shift330 · 05-24-2008, 01:45 AM

Those wheels/tires look kind of big for that car....IMO

akack79 · 05-24-2008, 01:51 AM

Drop looks fine.

longtran · 05-24-2008, 02:23 AM

mjoon161 · 05-24-2008, 08:56 AM

Thanks all. Majority vote was Looks good. No drop it is!

secondletter23 · 05-24-2008, 11:43 PM

What size tires are those? They look a little thicker than what most people put on 20s. Do they rub?

Craig@SupremePower · 05-24-2008, 11:53 PM

I'd drop it a bit...

Sneeze · 05-24-2008, 11:56 PM

Looks fine.

Amir87 · 05-25-2008, 12:18 AM

Drop it!

I think H&R Sport would be perfect drop.

streetfame · 05-25-2008, 03:06 AM

Drop an inch.

e90AW335i · 05-25-2008, 10:09 AM

No drop, it will just scrap shit everywhere you go.

One thing to get would be painted side markers though....

+1... how big are those??? 20's???

Wheels fit the fenders just fine, but the body of the car is still too high... looks like steve urkle with his pants up to his nipples.

If I were you, I'd probably roll those fenders and drop the car... it's starting to go into monster-truck territory haha

Haywire · 05-26-2008, 11:46 AM

Looks fine as is, there is no need to drop it.... I agree as far as the size of the rims being a lil too big, but nothing GAWDY.

nice ride

When you drop your ride, youre asking for nothing but problems somewhere down the line...save yourself headaches and just leave it as is

Malek@MRF · 05-26-2008, 12:52 PM

drop that chit!

That's not really true, especially if you are running 20's. I'm lowered pretty low with a front lip and I don't have any clearance issues. I guess it depends how you drive.

... I agree. Sometimes when you go with wheels that are larger than 19's they are almost too big for this car because even if there is no fender gap the car itself starts to sit too high IMO. It looks weird to me for whatever reason when someone has 20's with no drop, even if it looks ok from a fender gap perspective.

iatacs19 · 05-26-2008, 07:31 PM

Looks fine to me and at that height the car is usable, you don't have to worry about every dip and speed bump on the road.

SF_VR6 · 05-27-2008, 02:28 AM

ummmm too big. The reason why sport cars look hot are tight wheel gaps and the car being low to the ground. These 20's are lifting the car up higher.
