Hello everyone, im about to be back in the states real soon, im in the desert right now. Well I am going to be getting some wheels, 18x7.5, I of course am gona drop it too. Do you agree prob the nf's are the way to go cause im gona have the five axis kit on, or do you think I can get away with the df's. I want it low but want to do it smart cause im not trying to mess up the kit. Do the nf's get rid of most the tire gap? Thanks in advance..... Also I shouldnt be rubbing anything also with a +45 offset right?

Id get the NF's and go with maybe a 38 offset for 7.5?

the wheels only come with a 45mm offset, do you think they will be ok

with a 7.5 width and a 45et youll be fine. if you want to see the NF gap you have to check out the NF thread. its a moderate drop and is similar to the TRD drop. for the lowest drops you have to go for the tanabe/hotchkis.

The 5axis kit isn't too aggressive, I think you'll be fine whatever way you go. I have the AIT Racing kit and am dumped with a slight flush on the Cusco Coilovers and we manage to not damage the front lip too much. Just practice your angles and take your time. The only problem we run into is hitting the Blitz exhaust cannister in the rear over speed bumps. Oh well.... i'll live w/ that.

I always say DUMP it! I mean all you want is to look good right, hence the lowering springs..... so make it look good, dont go halfway.... go all the way down.

This thread will show you lots of pictures of NF springs with a variety of wheel & tire sizes.

If you go with 18x7.5 +45 wheels, you can put on 225/45-18 tires to fill out the gap another 1/2".
