Lower it until you like it duh. But don't come back to us when people are laughing at those big wheels and your itty bitty drums behind them.

rock what ever you want to. its your car. Most likely for a rim like that, it would need about a 2" drop to make it look clean. maybe 3" for a real slammed look.

Np but he is right I think 15 are perfect 16 is a little big for me but anything bigger than that is just way to big...in my opinion...but anyways i'd lower it till ther wheel gaps is about 1 finger

Heres what 17" look like on my 89, the wheels are quite big but that is all i had with brand new tires on them at the time i bought it. ANd im running h&r springs 1.75" ndrop on stock struts until my illuminas come in.

Ok. The 4 doors can be nice sleepers. But only when they are beat up or if they just look stock. But other than that the 4 doors look like ***. I know you guys think different, but this is just my opinion. They just look so damn lame especially on 17s or any other rim for that matter.

Those cars are actually pretty clean. All the sedans I see around here are all beat up.

I think even if he lowers it it's still gonna look like it's a 4x4. But if you do lower it enough you're gonna need to get a set of tophats made.
