    Default What size rims should i ride.

    im looking into finalyl getting some rims. looking at 15" but with my car it looks like im going to need to drop the front like 3 and the back 2 sos i wont have a huge gap.

    just wondering if i should go with 17 so i dont have to worry about the gap. looking at price and perforamnce also.

    planing to get the falken ziex 512 tires

    Get the 15's and drop the car properly. Big wheels will look like pizza cutters without a full kit. Also increased diamater will reduce the side wall not increase the outside diamater much.

    Coilovers would be nice but you can get away with a good quality spring/strut combo. I like the Eibach Sportlines a lot.

    I agree....

    Pimp it out though.... Chosing the right size tire and wheel will be a task... Shoot for a 15x8 all around... with somewhere close to a +20 offset... I have a friend who had a 200sx. Your offsets are a bit regular and come out clean... DONT buy some 15x6.5 with a 40 offset....
