How low should I drop my car so that it doesn't look like a wedge of cheese when I put my 17"s back on? i have gc/tokiko

 

depends on how thick your tires are. 40, 45, 50 series. It all depends

 

yokahama parada 215/40/17 i think

the wheels are maxxim (konig) 187's

 

Use your own judgement. I think maybe 1.75-2.00 inches max. Good luck

 

just adjust it till it looks the way you want it to

 

1.75" is ideal.

 

If you are going for the "lowered" look, and your'e considering 17's, if you don't already own them, you probably have to go at least 2.25. I know everyone says that going lower than 1.75 ruins suspension geometry, etc., but I just can't stand personally driving my car around with a 1.5 inch drop. I just think it looks bad, kinda like a 16yr. old kid that is afraid to lower his car because his parents would get mad. The cheese you are referrning to can easily be solved with a good set of coilovers. Just make sure to check what the lowering range is before you buy. I think most are anywhere between 1.5 and 3.sumthin'.

 

Do un-lowered tegs actually look THAT bad or are you people just exaggerating? Anyone have pics of unlowered tegs on 17"s?
