suspension first then wheels or you'll look like a 4x4.

once you have some coilovers you can try to fit. they'll fit hella flush style. is that what youre going for?

mmh how do i explain this. hella flush is the new thing all the kids are doing, where they run wide wheels, low offset, skinny or stretched tires so you can have a rim with bigger lip and rim can sit flush with the fender. its a fashion trend sorta like the hotrods.

im surprised you havent heard of this. follow the link i posted above. there are a bunch of pics of cars with "aggressive fitment" or hella flush style.

my car is not considered hella flush. the issue with hella flush style is its generally the opposite of being performance oriented. its more about having a slammed car and driving slow. my car is no gutted out race car but its not hella flush either. its somewhere in the middle i guess.
