    Put my 18" American Racing Rims on my GP yesterday, and resprayed the calipers black.
    I dont know about you guys but i think 18s are a perfect size.
    Not too big, not too small.

    but i mean for performance i woulda got a diff rim and smaller for sure but i had these from my Grand Am and i got them for a goooood price when i bought them so cant go wrong

    Yea those are a little too small, shoulda went with 245-45-18.

    Car looks sharp though, get the right size tire and it'll look better.

    The difference in diameter between 245/40/18 to 245/45/18 is one inch...

    Just saying it won't make THAT big of difference.

    Oh and they look great :-)

    Oh I agree just better results come from a drop. And I know where the OP is coming from with winters we get lots of drifting here and building a lowered car as a year round driver is just asking for damage

    agreed. Springs are very easy to install. Just make sure you get a good brand and don't settle.
