Curious to see if anyone has upgraded to 18 inch wheels but has not lowered their car, kept it stock. PLEASE provide pictures thanks!

I"ve got a few pics before I lowered it in my SIG link. Its subtly lowered afterwards with tanabe gf210's. I have to say the ride is a little less forgiving, but not too bad. The stiffness of the tire sidewalls can also make a difference. For example if you get 40 vs 45 and depending on brand/tire.

here are some 18x8.75 et 35 wheels.
However, if you go for such wide wheels you will want to lower the car, otherwise it just gives an off road look to the car

You can also go with 17's and a larger tire and still come under the OEM weight and fill the wheel well.

Hey Killerbee, so those picture of the white 86 is stock height? It is hard to tell but that looks really good

Miodculae, what would you recommend if someone were to go that route?

Yes, those pictures show the car in stock hight. You can check my car journal to see the difference on stock hight and lowered on eibach springs, plenty more pictures there

page 4 and upper half of page 5 has pictures on stock suspension, lower half of page 5 shows pictures with eibach springs

Thank you for sharing! This is really helping me figure out my next purchase. One more thing, your 18s on stock height vs 18s on the 1 inch eibach drop... do you notice any wheel rubbing with the drop? If I were to do the same (18's + 1inch drop) and went to go drive on a back road somewhat aggressively would there be any drawback?
