Default tucking hx wheels.??

ive decided to go with hx wheels on my hatch. besides going with a coilover what kind of a drop would i need to make 14's look good? i found a set really cheap and im on a budget, plus i like the way they look in white or black . anyone have any suggestions or ever better some pics of diffrent drops? i dont wanna buy something and wanna go lower after i get the stuff on.

About 3 to four inches and your oil pan will hate you. I have a 94 Civic Coupe DX w/ an LS swap. I have stock OEM rims. 15in Integra Sundaisy's I call them since they resemble a flower. After settle I have about 2 in drop and I have no fender gap in front and maybe 1 in in rear, which evens out during driving. If I was you and you plan to drop more than a 1.8 or 2.0 inches in a drop spring, you better go w/ coilovers in case you need to go back up.

Skunks are fine for the $. My business partner rides them on his GSR and his daily, a swapped EG hatch.
