18's without lowering ???

[Dan020394]

hi im really having trouble deciding what alloys to get im decided that i want the fox fx004 but i am having trouble deciding between 18'' and 19''. i am worried that with the 18's they will look ridiculous with it not being lowered with a massive gap between the tyres and arches
i was hoping that someone could post up some pics of meganes with 18'' alloys n preferably 225/40/18 tyres that havnt been lowered so i can get an idea of what it will look like and if i want to get them thanks dan

:cry i actually give up

not sure whats the matter with you
just wanted to see some examples of what cars with 18's and standard suspension looked like not sure whats so wrong with that

Just no. Mine is lowered 45mm on 18's and there is still considerable arch gap.

[joeishmather]

Mine with 18 n no lowering, think it looks fine, don't u??

[Dan020394]

Just no. Mine is lowered 45mm on 18's and there is still considerable arch gap.

would it just look SH*T then without lowering it and do you recon it would look equally as bad with 19's not lowered ?

Mine with 18 n no lowering, think it looks fine, don't u??

yeah seems to look decent from what i can see have u got 225/40 on it ? and have u got any more pics u could send me of it so i could get a better idea? thanks

[joeishmather]

not to get personal but you see this picture, car with 17's and been lowered, still doesn't look nearly as good as 18's even when not lowered, as the fact of the matter is there are still huge gaps with 17's when lowered in-front of and behind the wheels,as you can see where ive circled......

[Anthony]

...but we're not talking about 17's are we.

[joeishmather]

true ture,
but what im saying is, if its seen as acceptable to have 17's lowered which leave bigger gaps than un-lowered 18's why are you saying there's no question and that it needs to be lowered with 18's?

[Anthony]

I'll hold my opinion until I see a picture of yours from side on.
