You can't "drop it fine". I can almost guarantee you it's going to take som modifying.

if you want to run in "style" (i guess you could call it that) throw some 20's on and do some modding and drop it. There ya go.

If you want good looks, performance, and no decrease in turning radius and or acceleration then 17's / 18's are your best bet. Also IMO I would go with the OEM SS tire size 205/50-17. I'm running them on mine and they look and perform very well. Just my opinion, unless you are going with 18's then go with 215/45-18.

I agree on the "style" remark. Who decided that big ass pointless rims was a good idea and automatically made your car awesome? 20's on most cars look completely ridiculous, especially 'balts.

I agree with you 100%, but I was pointing out if that's what he wants it's his car, throw em' on and off he goes. I stated what "I" would do and what "SHOULD" be done.
