Suspension/Rims - 8/19/2004 6:20:58 PM    01xtreme Posts: 420 Joined: 8/15/2004 From: United States Status: offline I was wondering on what to do...I want to do a 2/3 drop and was thinking of getting 18" rims with low profile tires or maybe even 20's. But I don't want to have to recalibrate my speedometer everytime I switch from the stock rims/tires for winter and the 18 or 20's for summer. Plus, with a 2/3 drop, I don't really want it to sit so low that my front vallance gets all beat up everytime I enter a driveway. Any suggestions on what rims/tires to get with a 2/3 drop? _____________________________ Clear Turns, Euro Tails, Diamond Plate Floor Mats, Cold Air Intake, Billit Grille Emblem, Envoy Door Handles, Alpine CDA-9815, Two 12" Audiobahn Subs, 400 Watt Audiobahn Amp, Custom Made Box, Billit Headlight/HVAC Knobs Post #: 1

I have a friend who works in a tire shop and he said the same thing you did. So you think that I should stick with the same tire width so I don't rub on the wheel wells? _____________________________ Clear Turns, Euro Tails, Diamond Plate Floor Mats, Cold Air Intake, Billit Grille Emblem, Envoy Door Handles, Alpine CDA-9815, Two 12" Audiobahn Subs, 400 Watt Audiobahn Amp, Custom Made Box, Billit Headlight/HVAC Knobs (in reply to zero psi) Post #: 3

But seeing this is a daily driver, that's probably not a good idea. _____________________________ 01 jimmy, 95 blazer, 01 sonoma, 75 kawasaki kz400, 87 starcraft popup lol!
