You'll never completely get rid of the gap with wheels.
You will have to get some lowering springs or coilovers depending on your budget.

No matter what size wheels you get, it is best to keep the overall diameter (wheels+tires) the same as stock. If you go with wheels+tires with larger overall diameter to fill the wheel well, it'll make your speedometer reading incorrect and can hurt fuel economy. It'll also look donked and less like a sports car. I believe this car is on stock suspension with wheels that fill the gap (no offense to this owner; we all have different tastes):
(From http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=591667) If you're concerned about filling the wheel well, I would lower your car and keep overall diameter close to the same as stock.

You will be happy to stay with the same diameter tire as stock. Eibach sportline springs should bring the car down quite a bit with minimal wheel gap, but coilovers are going to be needed to close it all the way and tuck the tires if you are trying to achieve that look.
I'm about to make my purchase for some BC coilovers extreme low, and the XXR 527 18x8.75 +35 on 225/40/R18. |
