18s on stock suspension? yay or nay - Team-2G Mitsubishi Forum

Currently my car has 16" OZ Alloys (ones that come on the special edition eclipse) + Bridgestone Potenza Tires. The car is sitting on stock suspension. I'm considering on lowering it but i'm a little iffy because I live in Canada and it will mean my car won't be snow worthy anymore. Well it never was to begin with because I imported it from the states. BUT anyways.....

I'm thinking about getting 18" wheels on it in the next couple weeks. And im wondering if its gonna look incredibly stupid considering the car is not dropped. Does anyone have a set up with big rims.. and stock suspension? All you ballers on here, seem to have ur sh*t dropped.

I would not recommend it... until you drop your car, that is.

I'm riding on stock suspension (for now) and 17" Evo rims.
Tires are 45 series.

I go off-roading in the deserts in my free time. (I'm going to get my Teins in sometime this month... I've had them for about a month now!)

I say put a suspension on before or at least at the same time.

I decent cheaper suspension would be the Tokico Blue Set.. Even though president hates them! :-P

James is double right, it is cheaper, and I do really dislike them :P

i must agree with pres. two of my friends with dsms have the tokico's and they are really bad i dont like how they feel, but i have to say i love my eibach sportlines with kyb agx shocks and struts
