Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Re-Thinking Putting 18s on...

Over the past few months all I have done is think about the next big-money mod I want to do... I was thinking Rims and a Drop next... But now I'm rethinking rims because some people I have talked to around here say replacing rims is asking for problems (I live in New England, bad weather as most of you probably know). But then I also think getting a body kit will look weird if I'm rolling on 16s.

My question now is... Do you think a body kit and a drop will look weird on stock 16s? Or should I go all out, get the drop and rims first, then do a body kit.

Drop and rims

i think itll look ok... i like the stock 16's

1 - drop

2 - rims

3 - kit

Agreed with the post above.
P.S.Body kit and 16" will look ok, but not that good as 17"-18"..

I live in Boston drive my car on the weekends and have no problems and i have 19s with ground control coilovers

i live in Pittsburgh...the worst roads in the US lol...its its not bad on 18s...of course like any rim you gotta be careful

agreed, just try to get thicker tires for more protection and dont drive crazy if you know ur in a bad road

I would drop it first, modify you suspension (replacing struts & such accordingly, so that when you make other mods you'll be getting the most out of your investment) Then it's up to you on the rims or kit ...

What kind or rims and kit are you looking into?

i have a body kit on stock 16s with no drop and it looks ok. i will eventually change them to 18s and a drop when i get enough cash.

id go with kit, gives the car a brand new look

I say get a kit and then see if it looks aight or not, because some kits look fine with 16s.

rims and drop first

No doubt that the rims and drop should be done first...Then get that kit
