    Default Wheel question

    I have a lowered 99 accord lx with 18" rims with tires(205/30/18). I am thinking about putting on 15" honda rims and factory tires(195/65/15).
    How do yall think this will affect my car? Raise or lower it?
    I know u cant be for sure till u put them on, but what would you expect to happen?
    Also any deals on tires going on?

    Well Dude if it was Me I would Rock 215/60/15's
    That way it's a little Wider/Lower profile look but it well still keep Your Speedo in check.

    And as far as higher or lower I would think even on stock size Tires it would most likely be just a little lower.

    I mean it may or may not but give it a try and see.
    What can it hurt to try right.

    ya know how much more it would cost for tires u mentioned above rather than 195/65/15? i wouldn't even mind keeping the 18", but money is tight and i figure it would be more economical in the long run for me if i go back to stock tires. i know i am compromising looks, but i cant be spending $600 every 5 years on tires.

    also spoon91, u say that it will lower the car a tad bit. but when i go to http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.html and compare the two tire sizes in my first post, the stock tire has a larger radius of 1 inch. so thats why i was thinking it would raise it rather than lower it. your thought?

    if it lowers the car, i would have to be looking into to changing the springs cuz my nose already srapes coming out of driveways sometimes.
