Default Anyone has 18"s?

Im putting on my 18's this weekend, but I have a couple of questions... Ok how much will my speedometer be off by? Will it look all jacked up if i dont get a drop? I would i need one? Thats just about it. Thanks!

1)not significant enough to give a flying fu-k
2)yes, unless you like 4x4 or monster truck.

if you size your tires right it will be really close and it looks like of strange to see a car with big wheels that's not lowered.

with 18's you should get some coilovers (full coilovers would be preferable) and a camber kit since your gonna want to drop it as much as possible to make it look right. 18's are hella big...and get some 35 series tires and the speedo shouldnt be off by too much...just make sure your right at the speed limit if there's cops in the viscinity.

with 18"s you want to get 215/40/18 size tires, drop 2.25 inches and it will look good

Don't even ride with 18s if you aren't dropped.....Car will look goofy as heck.

this thread sucks


if you want to talk about what looks "cool" and "tight" go to superhonda.com

if you want to talk about performance, and putting together a suspension that actually does something other than look stupid with huge wheels, then this is the place
