Default tucking 15's?

whats up guys. winter has ALMOST ended and now that i can once more work on my car outdoors i was thinking of dropping it more. i got coilovers and 15's with 195/ 50 tires and the gap is just a little too much for me. how much more do you think i shuld go to make it look good? i dont know if i should tuck them or just drop it to a 1 finger gap. here is a pic for now of how it sits.







really its the back thats got a killer gap and the front needs to go down more. i just dont want my 15's to look SO small haha.

Leave the height of the rear alone and drop the front 'til there are no more gaps.

Bigger wheels make a car look higher off the ground though. Think about when you see a Civic or Integra (or whatever) at stock ride height...if it's got 15 inch wheels it looks normal, but if it has big 17s on it, it looks like a 4x4. If you get 16s you're gonna wanna drop it more for sure, considering you already wanna drop it more now.

I tucked 50 series 15's on my old Ej1 and my oil pan would catch on speed bumps. You really gotta want to be that low otherwise it isn't worth the trouble to daily drive it.

I'm tucking 195/45-15s daily. Just slam it and watch out for bumps.
