I'm thinkin about buying some 19 inch Vossens (haven't decided which style yet) BUT I don't want to lower the car solely due to the issue of vibrations that occur with the AWDs. Do you think I can pull off 19s looking good without lowering? Any opinions, fitment suggestions etc? I'd definately get lowering springs to reduce the wheel gap if there was no issue with vibrations but I don't want to risk it and waste time and money. On the other hand I don't wanna look like i'm riding high lol...feedback is appreciated.

 

IMO any car that has wheels and is not lowered looks weird to me. it just gives the illusion that the car is sitting higher because of the smaller sidewall. i would say you could lower your car an inch without any problems.

 

I agree. That extra wheel gas makes it look worse, IMO

 

same here, larger wheels without lowering always look weird.

but also keep in mind, it's your car. if you think it looks good and especially you are afraid of potential vibration, then go with what you want!!! it's your car!

 

I think they would look really funny especially with our AWDs... I think the drop in general is a must have to get rid of that 4X4 look. I just ordered Fsport springs crossing my fingers I don't have the crazy vibration issues. If I'm not mistaken the 300 height isn't as bad as the 350?

 

I would assume its all the same. there have been several members that lowered their awd by about 1" that didnt have a problem. i believe you only run into problems if you slam it. my car is lowered on coils and after putting the new wheels on this weekend, i dont really have much vibration and my car is lowered a good bit, about 1/2" from the top of the tires.

 

Thanks for the feedback guys...

Anaq...let me know if you have any issues with the Fsport springs once you try them out..I may consider grabbing those...
