Remodel driveway

[phunkydude]

Holy shiittt that's low!!! How you manage to get over a road bump or even entry kerb?
Avoid every road with bumps??

hydraulics susp. needs to be engineered right?
or totally illegal?

[bduffman]

well its fine on the road unless i drive to quick over any bump lol

[bduffman]

here is a pic of the car in the driveway to show the angle

Dont worry about it. If you smash it it will probably look better anyway.

You would have no chance in my driveway
I can only just get in with my car.

[Kustom]

Your car already looks like its on standard suspension so i wouldn't raise it anymore lol, get some bigger rims man, what are you running 16's or 15's?

[bduffman]

there 17s i think dont know were on there when i bought the car and parents took it to get new tyres after i bought it

[silverGPX]

What does the tyre code say??

[Kustom]

They arn't 17"s surely, 16 max lol

[silverGPX]

i think there 12's

[phunkydude]

Bet it's R16/55. If it's R17 then my screen resolution must've been out of the aspect ratio.
Those looks cute on fto though.

[bduffman]

205/50 16r
so there only 16s
whats the max i can put on

[phunkydude]

18s. But i think someone with 18s mentioned their wheel scrapes the guard.
Just don't get the ones that's too wide.

[bduffman]

yea if i was to get 17s or 18s what tyres would i get that wouldnt make it scrub and would it raise it at all

[phunkydude]

Get 18s then.
Something with 215/40 or 45.
Make sure you got the right rims though. 7" or 8" width varies on tyre options.

I think 225 18s, that's when it starts to scrub on full lock. (or, is it 235? can't remember)
They looks better though.
