I can tell just from looking at your pic, your shocks are gone. When you get that fixed, you will sit higher. You also won't drop as much when your buddies pack in.

supersize honestly bro you provide people with the most retard and incorrect information. You can easily lower a car on 17's. I wouldnt do it because I dont like the look, but its still easy to do.

Anyways OP, have you looked into any coilovers yet? Just so you know they are expensive. Dont be miss led that you can just buy the coils and the sleeve and then just slap them on ur stock struts. You can do it but you will just end up blowing the stock ones quickly. A good set of coilovers are going to cost you around $600 bucks. You could also be patient and look for used ones.

Here are a few options:

have you not seen reapers black honda pic? its on 17's and slammed. you just gotta know how to do it, also rims arent all the same some are wider than others and also have different offset... look up the word offset and you will understand.

wow... thats crazy. i didnt know any of that i just thought i could get coil overs and be fine. and i dont want to lower it i like how it sits when no one is in my car hahaha
but i need tires bad so once i get 500 for some tires i will save up for new shocks and coil overs
thansk again

[trustdestruction]

500 for tires? damnnnnnn

go to discounttiredirect.com, you can get a set of tires for like $250, and that's decent brands like Falken, Bridgestone, etc.

[supersize]

what about shipping tho

[trustdestruction]

I believe it is free shipping, IIRC. If not, it will still cost less than 500 bucks

i can buy brand new 205/40/17 for $60 a tire brand new mount and balance.
