I'm trying to figure out whether or not I can live with 18s if I can lower my suspension and close up the wheel gap. I'd really like to see some examples from folks who have lowered their car but are still running 18" wheels. I already know 20"s look awesome but I'm trying to see where I can save some $$$ for other mods.

I don't, but as the outer diameter of the 20" and 18" are the same, the only differance is the sidewall height, if that helps u.

I'm actually curious to see if the rubber of the tires does an okay job of filling the gap or if it still looks bad compared to a lowered car w/ 20's

yep both my 09 and 10' were lowered on 18's (my 10 still is)

This is quite helpful - gold star!!! :rockout:
What kind of lowering kit was installed?

Yes yes... what kind of lowering kit did you use. I like how it looks :thumbupright:

I have 18" wheels and a complete performance suspension by Peddars.
This includes springs, struts, bump steer correction and poly bushings.

The car dropped around 2 inches. I drove it through through winter without a problem. I need some pictures with the new paint & suspension for you to see the profile, but it looks good, at least from my view.

I used SRT8 factory springs, the dealership cut only 1/2 of the top coil to ensure a good seat in the strut, no alterations to ride quality, botooming out or anything like that, the car rides like factory, and handles normal.

Before anyone gets in on me for cutting springs, I didn't cut into any of the weight load, only 1/2 of the first outter coil (double layered) only to seat in the oem strut properly.

as a matter of fact, the same springs from the 09' are on my 2010.

I'm thinking about lowering my car to. I'm looking at going with 2in up front and 1in in the back. From what I have seen so for I'm thinking it's going to look good. If any one has there car set up this way all ready I would love to see some pics, thanks.
