I know that everyone says 18s look stooopid without a drop but is this always the case (seriously)
Dug out an old magazine article with a 6gc wearing an ereb404 kit, 18s and the standard factory suspension, it looks awesome.
Maybe im basing the majorities opinion on this setup without a bodykit.
Any opinions are gratefully received as this is what i plan to do, also if anyone has any pics of 18s on standard suspension with or without a kit please put them up.
Once again, thanks for your help

i have 18's on my car, with the stock supsension and everyone i've ever met says it looks Friggin awesome. Only bad thing is i need to fix my brakes, those rear drums look like s***! Need to do the disc conversion. I'll take some pics as soon as i can, but at the moment it's a lil difficult cuz my baby is at the shop. Also at the moment i'm runnin late 4 work. Good luck man, what kind of rims are you looking to get?

It in all honest looks fine without the drop, but it needs to be done, it will look awesome once it is done. The 18"s fill the rear wheel well perfectly. The front however has just a litttlleeee bit extra room(well you do need to turn... lol)

I have a 98 Celica GT hatchback. I have 18" Enkei RS6 rims, and Yokohama Parada 215-35ZR18" tires. The car looks awesome. I do plan on dropping it some later on, but meanwhile, it looks great.

My philospohy-

18" WITH body kit and no drop- looks great, but of course springs would look better yet.

18" WITHOUT bodykit and no drop- looks a little bit goofy to me wink.gif
