Im pretty sure I have 18x8 wheels and but its not lowered..But i didnt need spacers..you could just get like 225 sized tires vs 245(which is oem)

But dont listen to me...i know nothing about suspension.

 

are you going to do just springs or shocks to?

 

You don't want spacers if your lowering the car, contacting the fender with the wheel isn't the nicest way to blow a tire. [:'(]It will look pretty damn decent with lowering springs and 18X8 wheels, trust me.

 

Can you just put springs in?

 

your struts will blow after 10k miles.... ive heard

 

Really cuz i wanna put springs on but NVM that!

 

Yeah you can just throw springs in, and no your struts won't blow after 10k miles.
It would increase the chance of your struts leaking fluid, but they would still last 100k or better, un-less you hit one hell of a pot hole.

 

I'm still deciding whether to install just springs or go all out w/ a coilover kit. more than likely i'll spend the extr loot and get the kit.

 

once again the dealer wont care about springs?...........will they?
