- Tue Nov 04, 2008 10:03 pm #77184 Hey guys i got a EG 4 door and i want to put some 15" GSR blades or SI rims on it painted gunmetal/ black

my question is how odd would it look not lowerd but on stockride height. would the ride quality change at all ? would it be safe ?

(newb question but yeah i need to know)

Either way I think it will look good :thumb:

a thicker sidewall on a larger wheel will throw off your speedometer reading. Then if you do decide to lower your car there's a greater chance the tires will rub from being too large.
