I went w/ her to order her some rims for her 98. I read on here that 17's are a really good choice, however, she wanted chrome "twisted 5 star" rims. The place we went to didn't have any that would fit. So she picked out a set and they are 18 X 8 Or 9 I cant remember. The tire size is P245/40/r18s (Z rated). I know most (or all) are against these rims but I just want to know how bad this will hurt street performance?
Since the overall diameter will be the same as stock will I need to upgrade the brakes (or brake pads)? I am thinking of maybe pushing them out 1/4 of an inch. Would this be too much? I think I can still drop the car in inch (maybe an inch and a half) good idea? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |
