    I've realized something vitally important.

    slammed/lowered/omgoilpan E30's don't belong on 14's or 15's.

    Went from 15" 195 wheel to a 16" 225......dear jesus ramen noodle christ.....

    I'm pretty "slammed" as far as I can use the word without being a homosex, but lordy lord I've tried going over the worst of dips/cracks/potholes on the road with these 16's and I haven't even come close to hitting my skid plate..
    I mean we all LOVE the protection of a skid plate, but dont you clench your butt cheeks and hate it everytime you hit it? yeah..

    not to mention 225's are so god damn grippy and comfy.

    so im still slammed...fitment is still great, but now instead of having complete concentration on the road ahead of me for potholes, I can now text and drive. i love >15" wheels.

    tl;dr: <16" wheels + slammed = doing it wrong

              I've never worried about anything on my 15's. So I giggled.

                              I don't get it, if you're buying the right tire sizes shouldn't they have the same overall diameter, thus the same ride height? It'd only be off fractions of an inch.
