If i use 18's with the body kit, i'd be saying goodbye to the lips. The car's gonna sit lower. The five axis rims are hella heavy. 28lbs a piece that's without the tires. Sheeeesh...

When you get smaller wheels, you will get tires with a taller sidewall in order to maintain the same overall diameter of the wheel/tire. (This is to preserve handling characteristics, gear ratio, and also speedometer/odometer accuracy). For example, the stock tire size is 215/45/17, and when people go 18s (and wider wheels), they would often run a 245/35/18. (The oem tires' sidewalls have a width that is 45% of 215mm, whereas the 18's sidewalls will have a width of 35% of 245mm) In this case, the amount of your ground clearance doesn't change. Brian |
