Slammed means you are very close to the ground regardless of wheel size. You can be slammed with 19's and scrape going down a flat road.

Tire size, tire size, TIRE SIZE!!!!


Wheel size doesn't really mean ****. Are we talking rub fenders, or the ground.

If you want to be slammed, and don't care about tire life or comfort, you could do a 195-45-15.

Buddy had these for a while.

15's or 16's any bigger would'nt look that great. especially on that hatch.

ive never driven a slammed car for longer than 5minutes but this is making me rethink going too low and maybe just staying around the height its at now.

i mean i didnt even think about tire life for starters, to me it's not worth going low if im buying more tires than normal so... you know what, thanks for the heads up
