New 16x8 raised car back up again...suggestions

[david2991]

So today I put on a new set of wheels and sticky tires. Very pleased with the look, but my car rose up another inch which is disappointing. What can anyone suggest? I guess e90 drop hats would give it a front raked look and take a few millimeters down correct? I'm on Vogtland springs front and back currently. Thanks in advance.

my advice would be to change your springs. Vogt's are to soft anyways.

More towards H&R Race...?

I think that car would look great with just a bit of rake, try the drop hats and see? It would be way cheaper / easier then changing all the springs.

Ehhhhhh, I wouldn't do much.
You're just going to tell yourself you want to go lower after a week of having them on. Adjustable height = coil-overs.

Just leave it alone :]

Good looking car like your wheels.

unless you went with oversized tires, which it doesnt really look like, the tire height and rolling diameter should be the same.

195/65/14 is exactly the same as 225/45/16 height wise.

Previously I had 205/15/15 and went to 205/50/16 so i did notice a difference in ride height. After driving around for a few days now it's growing on me. Maybe e90 hats and be done. For now...

Well yeah, 205/15's are over 5" shorter than 205/50's

[david2991]

Oh wow mistype... both were 205/50. Difference was 15 inch wheel to 16 inch

if your not happy with height and change your wheels around, cant go wrong with them
