Default New Shoes

Just got my new rims on ym car, they are only 18's but the roads in australia are even worse than the ones in America so its already bad enough as it is.. Needs more low, but these set me back a pretty penny

Harsh roads make lowering your car and new wheels with low profile tires a tough call... but a 2inch drop would really help your investment on the new shoes really stand out... you will just have to pay attention to the roads more and chose your route a little more selectively. Good luck on your ride.

What are your wheel and tire specs?
