Default PIC Request: Non OEM wheels on OEM Suspension

i know this isn't the most popular, but is anyone rolling on nice 17s or 18s but still on the stock suspension? or at least snapped some pics before lowering?

talk about premature driveshafts and whatever problems associated with lowering the car somewhat worries me...

thanks in advace

17" LE28 with standard offsets

This was before Swift Springs but the Swift Springs hardly lowered the car. only about 0.5 inch - 0.75 inch

Some pics of my old car. I must say I think I was THE ONLY white S2000 with Gold LE's with an OEM front lip.



BTW, my wheels were 18"s

U need to have a pic from the side. Not angled like this so you can see the wheel gap. I personally think if you are gonna go with aftermarket wheels, at least lower the car a bit. You don't have to slam it.

dude, lower the car. the stock wheels dont look to bad on the car with stock height, but when you toss on 18's, it looks worse ask me how i know this.

lower the car, then do the wheels. your car will thank you.
