Heyas, I'm saving up for some 17's or 18's which will come eventually!....but i'm not sure if i want to lower my car after having my front bumper hitting car park krib things like twice or three times now....dam my lowish bumper!!. But generally will my ride be higher once i get 17's or 18's? Does anyone have any comparision pics of their cars with 17's lowered and not lowered (how much of a gap difference between the top bit of the tyre and body)..and also comparision of 18's. Thanks fellas.

if you put 17s or 18s on your car, you will use lower profile tires so the overall height of the car will be the same.

if you're already hitting curbs, how much worse would it be if you lowered the car a bit?

i've scraped my bumper on the curb a couple of times, but now i'm just really careful. i plan on lowering my car about 1 inch eventually. maybe a bit more.
