Default suspension or wheels?

I need your help guys. I'm conflicted. I don't know if I want to get suspension done first or wheels.

If suspension, I'll be getting BC Racing coilovers.

If wheels, I'm looking for 3-piece wheels.

What do you guys think?

Hmmmmm I would suspension first. Those your getting with ride great and adjust accordingly and to the right height for now until wheels get here but if you do wheels first, you'll look 4x4 hehe and will need to do suspension asap!

Maybe save up for both because you're going to have to end up adjusting the coils later on anyways. More hassle.

Well, get suspension first if you can't get both. Get the height you desire. Get the alignment settings you want ( corrected or more negative). Measure the offset and order wheels.

Both!

No but seriously, suspension first may be a better choice to dial in all of your alignment settings. In regards to choosing the best size and offset for your car: you can typically reference large tire/wheel distributors webpages to get recommended fitment, or use wheel offset calculators to determine best specs without rubbing.

Good luck on your endeavor!
