19" wheels without drop

BeMyWife · 10-02-2007, 09:12 PM

Hey guys

I just placed an order on my first aftermarket wheels and I am absolutely excited

I got myself some 19" Ruff Racing 281's and I was wondering if anyone had pictures of their cars with 19" wheels on stock suspension as I don't plan on dropping the car any time soon. I know the gap will look nasty but just wanted to see some pictures so that I can convince myself to do a drop this year.

Thanks in advance and I'll post pictures of the new wheels as soon as I get them mounted.

Search in the gallery section. There's a thread not too far back with pictures of stock suspension on 19's.

Honestly, it looks hideous.

H&R sport spring drop is vey conservative and makes a world of a difference.

mantis is that before and after and are or did you just do the front?

Here is mine. It needs to be dropped in the front also. I only want to do the front cause the wife drives the car and is affrayed she will scrape on everything.

God, that looks like I can fit my fist in the front fenders and 4 fingers in the rear. Did you have ZSP?

thanks for the pics! I don't think I'll mind the gap at all after looking at these pictures.

Really? It looks like a 4x4.

To each his own.
