18's. What size tires and what suspension???
Friday, December 21, 2007 7:54 AM
Okay so I have a set of 18's for my 02 ls sport. Thing is, I want to lower it too. What would be a great suspension setup with a matching tire size? I have no idea!!

Well it also depends on what the offset of the wheel is to if it wil rub or not depending on how low you end up lowering the car. I'm pretty sure that most offsets will work with a drop up to 2 inches and maybe more with coilovers if you run either a 225/40/18 or a 215/40/18

225/40/18's work fine .. i've been running eibach sportlines on koni red's for quite some time.. did have to stiffen the rear struts a bit to avoid the rear tires rubbing

My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
JBO lube - they would never have enough in stock and we'd never see RodimusPrime again

225/40/18 on 18" MR7 (I believe 45mm offset). Sportline springs + DSpecs. Minor rubbing on front right inside well when steering full-lock-left.

Sleeve-type coil-overs or the *true* full coilover suspension they had developed?
