18"s on a Sentra

Re: 18"s on a Sentra
haha.... your car bein posted by other ppl... lol, that's alright i suppose saves u the trouble.... I was thinkin about doing a body kit for a while but then I decided to just dump it instead... the pics I took are with it raised up some cause I didn't know the diameter of the 18"s with 35 series is even smaller than 17"s with 45's.... which means I coulda lowered it more instead of raising it it'll be dumped again soon.... o and the only kit I would ever put on a B15 is a buddy club(no offense to other sentra owners with other kits). but then I decided to just get the Nismo wing instead... I like the way my car looks with the stock SpecV front end... but yah... if I had a non SE-R... I'd prolly kit it too, that is non SE-R right?

VIS Octane........uhmmm it can look good sometimes. I knew a couple people already with 18's on a sentra with a progress spring drop so that's what I did.
"sentra with a progress spring drop"........i'm considering gettin the progress springs cause the drop looks nice as hell but wasnt sure how the ride is. I've heard the progress are more for looks that perforance... but havent spoken to anyone that actually has them. whats your take on it?

I threw the GC coil overs on mine... not too bad of deal except for the fact that my struts are about gone cause I keep it dropped to the ground and stock struts don't like that too much... but that's ok... I'll go with JIC's or Tein's soon.
btw Pyrate, if you are interested in any Nismo parts let me know I've got a real good deal going on right now for 25-50% off all items

Edit: I wont be able to mod the car any further until next summer anyways, I gotta go back to being a poor college student.

Big bumps in the road hits hard but i'm assumming that comes with the territory of lowering any car and having 40 series tires.
