  • 17s and 18s - new suspention?

    This has been asked sooo many times but its kind-of a different question and couldnt find the answer..

    im getting 17s up front and 18s out back, 17x8 and 18x8.5s or something, whatever i find that fits, but will i need new suspention to handel the difference in wheel size? Im deffinatly going to lower the front 1.5inches and the back 1 inch, maybe a little less, possible a .75 or .5 drop in the back. I love that look, front lower, but will i be putting excess stress on the frame, or will i need to change other suspention parts besides the springs?

    youll be able to get by with just springs and wheels. shocks wold be a good idea the stock ones will not last as long with a diffrent spring i would burn the stock shocks first. if you want good handling get a front sway bar
