18's are obviously gonna be harder to tuck because your upper control arm will bottom out before you tuck rim in the front. you'll probably be able to get pretty close though. and will be riding pretty damn low.
sick, thanks for the info, ill figure it out somehow,i gotta cut my control arm holes still -___-' car looks sick.

if your really set on driving low on 18's i Know serial nine offers shortened knuckles for our cars, i believe there around $700 though. something to look into if your going down that route.

I want to eventually.

Some Pictures my friend Huy took of my car, nothing crazy, he just wanted to practice light painting, besides that the car is still exactly the same lol.
