New wheels, now to lower and spacer or to not to













Niche targa's 20 x 8.5 offset 42mm and 20 x 10 offset 55mm


245 30s and 285 25's Falken 453's


I must say... I like em, they fill the wells out nicely and its pretty flush.


I want to lower it, not sure if springs or coils would be best and maybe a small spacer to bring the front out a bittttt more...


thoughts please?


thanks gents.

Looks great! I'm debating the lowering question as well.

HR Springs. Not sure if you can even fit a 10mm spacer in the front though. Maybe a 5, but you'll deal with possible non-hubcentric vibrations.

A modest drop would make a world of difference. No need to go lower then springs. Lower it first and then see how much space you have for spacers.

Yeah, I hear ya. It's always somewhat bizarre to me the before and after looks of even a mild drop. I can see too much tread right now and I think if I drop it, it'll fill the gap and make it look more solid.


Until these rims and tires I didn't like the body as much. It's something how much a good set or a bad set changes the look of the car. At one point I wanted to put a BS kit on the back, but then I'd be 'that guy' lol


But again, now after the change up, its filled out nicely.

Side note, what's a good rear diffuser that has the larger fins, and a good front lip.


I'm going for this look of the green one here....so badazz.

A drop makes the lines of the car look more aggressive. For carbon products, cant beat the fit / finish of Mode Carbon.


That green one is actually owned by a friend of mine . He was in Toronto as well the car was a Stage 3 Weistec Beast.

He was just on coils if I remember correctly. Believe they were indeed H&R.

I agree with this!!! a drop will set the car off tremendously.... looks good nonetheless
