New tires and wheels! XXR 527

Just got them today

18 x 8.75 + 20 offset

Now need to figure out how I can lower the car to give it that aggressive look. I only want to lower the car about an inch to an inch and half no more than that

Nice rims man I like the xxr 527. Don't listen to other people when they hate on your rims. It's your car you buy what you want. But I strongly agree on Adriano_917 and say does look weird and you got to lower it soon lol. Then it would just look complete.

Stay with the 20 offset, I researched that the 35 offset will. Not clear the brembos

Bro you dont know how much I appreciate this post. I really want those rims and wasnt sure what size and offset to go with. But on the subject of suspension I know Megan Racing Coilovers are really good

Here are the coilovers on ebay I want to get I was sketchy about them. But I met a local in my area with a 240sx who bought them and said the brand was really good

the car looks nice, but i would avoid ebay brand coilovers. you're just never going to get quality with what you're paying. a good lowering spring/shock set-up for set amount of lower would probably be the cheapest and most effective option. make sure you find shocks valved for the springs. be careful putting lowering springs on stock shocks, you'll likely blow them out very quickly. best of luck.
