I was wondering on what to do...I want to do a 2/3 drop and was thinking of getting 18" rims with low profile tires or maybe even 20's. But I don't want to have to recalibrate my speedometer everytime I switch from the stock rims/tires for winter and the 18 or 20's for summer. Plus, with a 2/3 drop, I don't really want it to sit so low that my front vallance gets all beat up everytime I enter a driveway. Any suggestions on what rims/tires to get with a 2/3 drop?

well, bags will save your bumpers from the wrath of the driveway, but i don't think you'll have that much of a problem with a 2/3 drop(just turn in your driveway sloooowly) For the rims, i say go with 18's and a tire close to your original diameter so your speedo won't be off. also it may be a little better ride with the 18's.

thanks...thats pretty much much what I think that I'm gonna do. I have a friend who works in a tire shop and he said the same thing you did. So you think that I should stick with the same tire width so I don't rub on the wheel wells?

that would be the easiest thing to do, unless you want to get into removing the wheel wells. But seeing this is a daily driver, that's probably not a good idea.

18's with low pro tire dont make much of a difference on the speedometer, and i have a 3/5 drop.
