Default 16'' Rotas or 15'' Rotas + Coils?

Hey all,


I have H&R Sport Springs Riding on KYB AGX shocks

I currently have SI rims, the springs have been on the car for a little over a month now and I dont like my drop I want something that looks better

I can either buy 16'' Rota Slips to fill in the gap

or

15'' Rota Slips and lower springs or coils

As for tires I want Falken Azenis, but i hear 15'' are way better than 16''s (for tires) what should I do?

Should I wait a bit more for my springs to settle?

do you want performance or looks?
Performance = 15s
Looks = 16s.

Ya man, cause those bling bling Spoon/Mugen wheels really get you a lot of ***. Almost like 24" spinners on a Navigator.

get the 15 in. rotas and some GC coils. Not a bad setup, unless you want better performance, then get something other than GCs.

If the springs are that new, yes, at least give them a chance. Do you just want less wheel well gap, because that is what it seems like. If so, different springs might be all you need, why spend all the extra money on new wheels? If you just want a new look for wheels, I would personally go with the 15", just because they're cheaper and just as good (as the 16").

Bigger sized wheels don't decrease gap. If anything they make it more apparent because there is less tire.

Lower the car more if you want to get rid of the GAP.

Yes, I forgot about that. A ex-friend of mine put 18 in. Enkeis on his eclipse. Still had a lot of wheel gap and it rasied the car up a few inches. Looks horrible.
