Ralphy Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 tbh it depends how u drive it and what sort or roads ! Where u live ? Some people use as dailys on 13's and mega low !

pro3mark Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I had mine all the way down on standard 13's (big tyres) and the car wasn't far off the ground, it can get tiring after a while.Depends on coilies (some seem to go lower) and road condition.

pro3mark Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Don't know how people cope, i caught on most bits of road, even before the potholes.I'd always stick 14" up, i'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Yep 13s were a nightmare , used to hit the bottom of the car off everything . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStryder360 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Been running 13s 175/50s for nearly two years.Only issue is scraping which is awesome (girlfriend gets scared) and fecked subframe but that could happen to any car.Oh and the main petrol consumption is on par with Astons and Lambos.

TomStevo Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 14's are no diff tbh only thing is you dont have to go as low for it to look as good,i would say i am as low as most people running 13'stbh its awful but i love it, the exhaust not only scrapes but drags over everything, mudflaps are about 1cm off the ground, and scrape around pretty much every corner, i think, not 100% but think i have heard the driveshafts hit subframe a good few times, the bottom arms much hit the floor every 10-15 mins or so on a regular road around here lol arches scrape like mad everywere aswell lolif yoour gonna run 13s then be prepared for lots of bangs, scrapes, loud noises, and people staring as you drag your car over speed bumps via the sills lolBE A MAN AND GO FOR 12s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Little Green Giant Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 12's dont really fit. Micky tried, and he didnt run them, thats how much it doesnt work! HAHai run 13's daily with lots of problems, but its 'dirty stancing' or go home IMO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
