OK, so I am looking at all the bithin' rides in the Sac valley, including you Lincoln peeps...and I see alot of 18" rims, but also some 17 inchers. Here is my concern.

I am in sales, and drive ALOT (8000 miles in two months) and had a question, would like you're opinions on it.

If I go with the S.Tech springs and the 18" rims...Will I be hatin' life going down the road?

If I go with the H.Techs and 17" rims...will it look to funny, I know to some it will, but what do you think??

Thanks in advance for all input!

i would get 17's and maybe eibach/trd springs. Anything lower and you could be hating life if you get on the wrong roads. also go with a 40 or 45 series for the side wall.

i got the s-techs and i will probably go with 17's. i want a larger sidewall for a little smoother ride than the 18's would give me. if you go with the h-techs, you could go with the 18's i would think.

just my 2 cents

It all depends on the roads where you live. I live in Phoenix so and we have really nice roads. I talked to a guy yesterday who had 18's and said he should have gotten 17's. However the wheel well is really big so it makes the rims look smaller than they are. His 18's didn't look like that. The drop was really nice though. Gave enought clearance for the bumper and he said he had never scraped it. I am running a special on the S-tech springs so if you are interested check out my ad in the sponsor classifieds or call or email me.
