Anyone running 18s with a lowered car?

I was thinking about what rims to put on my FRS and I was thinking 18s would be good because I like the clean look. I was thinking about smaller for the performance side but I really don't care about how fast or quick I can make my car. I am buying lowering springs soon or coils still don't know yet, I have been looking and how low I want the car and I was thinking about 1.25 in the front and 1.75 in the rear. If you have 18s and your car is lowered please post a picture so I can get a idea of what I want. THANKS!

Yeah, it's pretty much impossible to lower your car AND run 18's. It's kinda one or the other.

I hear that if you try to lower your car while running 18's, FA20Club and Visconti will come find you and blow up your car.

You can only put 18's on your lowered car if they are spinners and only spinners. Anything else is like trying to divide by 0.
