Help-- Lower it, or give it some new shoes'

Hey, should i lower my car by alot with coilovers first, or should I just purchase some DR20s in black nd polish rims?

don't copy:P

my wheels are up for sale though.. AND i will be one of a kind (again) by spring..

[AeroSonic]

ahh im actually a huge fan of ur car no lie xD well how muchh $? i was thinking eigther having them gold, black with purple lugs, or purple dr20(hulk).. nd idk if i should just lower it first, since its all about the stance

Id get wheels that your set on first then lower to your liking. Its kind of expensive the other way around im going to haveto make new fenders to fit my wheels wheni get home. If your set on the dr20s id do the gun metal with green lugs. What kind of stanceare you going for? slammed and stetched tires or low with some nice offset wheels like rabbit. either way good luck..

I sold my wheels with tires for $200.. they are gone, sorry. I loved to the look but am going to need more brake clearance and wider wheels for traction.. I would go with suspension first, than fit the wheels and tires to your set ride height.

I'm with rabbit, suspension first.

What would be good dimensions and all that for rims?lug pattern, offset?, i wanna go with double lip rims, but i seen someone on the forum with XXR 002 , and the whole tires seemed to be Out alot, which isnt my taste lol but when u lower it u cant slam it nd i rather not get a camber kit... i wanna go pretty low at least a 2.5 drop ..... this ep3 shows what i consider a good stance

nd drs20 gun grey with green lugs sound beast what about purple lugs? , and i add a purple tow hook too ?

[classic67]

if i remember correctly the aveo your talking about had 8 in wide wheels. the highest most put on are 7 in wide for rubbing issues. As far as offset if you liked rabbits setup his were ET10 in the rear and E 40 in the front. His was staggered to correct how the rear wheels set further in. Its all personall pref from there some wheels need a spacer in the front to clear the caliper or you can shave the caliper like i did. purple lugs would look good but what else is going to be purple? that civic was nice but it had -3.5 degrees camber in the rear and the front wasnt low enough. A tow hook looks good i have one on mine its neo chrome to match my lugs and shift knob. I had to retrofit a mount off of a 90 crx to get it to look right but it payed off. Here is a pic

so +40 would be the safest offset for rims? and i love how your car looks, and all lowered and everything , im on steelies too, but right now ihave these wheelcovers on, but with black fake lugs -- jjust to resolve for now, but i hdk if lowered car will pull it off because it will be cheap lowered on wheelcovers but on steelies like u it looks cool,... the things that are going to be purple, i have a simply clean purple decal on the front windshield, ihave a hulk plush on my dash(purple pants)lol, the purple lugs, the purp tow hook, and i have a combination of 5 black and 5 purple little tree scent hanging from my mirrors, and also im painting my engine purple which would look beast!.. and true too much camber, plus i think the rear wheels where bigger than the front, i always prefer the front have that more of a slamed look than the back, nd cool tow hook, but there is anyway to but it ont the middle too?
