Hi. I have just bought a 99 civic hatchback. I want it slammed on big wheels! but i still want it to be practical! so i was wondering if anyone knows the best drop, and wheels size to go for. cheers

When you say slammed & big wheels what are you thinking about doing? How practicle? Daily driver?

yea, eg. minimal scrubbage with maybe 2 people in the back. was thinkin no bigger than 18's, or would 17's be the best bet?

Ive found that 17's with a little drop do the job nicely

This is about as low as i'd recommend going. If you go with an adjustable suspension, you can set the height to where you like it.

If your car is a daily driven car & looking for practicality, I wouldn't recommend lowering the car that low. You'll run into some problems as time goes by.

I'd say put the 17" rims & get the Neuspeed sports springs. The drop is about 1.75". It would still look pretty low & still pretty practical. You should eliminate most of the fender gaps with those sports springs. The ride quality is also pretty close to stock.

That's my opinion.

Hahaha I so agree! If I had a dollar for everytime Ive seen cracked body kits from curbs, well Id be right up there with Gates himself!
