I have a b5 and i was wondering how low would i have to lower my car for 18 inch rims to look good. Or should i just get 19's?

RE: rim size

should i lower it at all too or just keep the stock sport suspension? I want the rims too look big still and reduce the gap of the wheel wells.

Well I think you'll find that if you don't lower your car it is going to look like a monster truck. The wheel gap will be accentuated by larger wheels.

RE: rim size

I see. How low would you reccommend? Also what brand of coilovers would you suggest. Im looking for something not too expensive but also i want something that is easy to raise and lower the height with.
