Help with WHEELS / DROP

http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/pts/902657014.html

If I put these wheels on, would I need to do a drop? i cant picture how much space would be there cause im still really new to all this. the tires would 245/35/19 front and 255 rear. would these leave a ugly gap, or would it be not to bad? also, do our cars have bolts, or just lugs for the wheels? thanks guys, i appreciate all the help

You'd be hard pressed to even get those wheels on your hub.. seeing as how they're made for european vehicles (wrong bolt pattern for our cars)

Nah they arent gonna fit bro, but you dont want those cheapo wheels anyway, get some nice used wheels in the Marketplace here on the site.

well, as i look for a new set of wheels/tires similar to these in size, would a drop be a good thing....or would it look fine without one. like i said i cant really picture it as well as most people on here because im still new to it all. if it would look better how much would it be?? thanks

a drop will make any car look 10x better. Even a 1" drop is a drastic difference in the stance and look of the car.

unless you wanna go for the lazy 4x4 look, please lower your car with rims. Lower profile tires without a drop just looks ackward. That and 1/2 the ppl on the board will flame you.

Like everyone has said already, those rims are not going to fit on your G. Looks like the seller did not even post any information about the offsets.

As to your lowering question, it all depends where you live and what you prefer.. because lowering is definitely going to improve the looks/stance/handling, but you would have to sacrifice gound clearance, comfort, camber issues, etc.

So you have to assess your pros and cons and make your final decision. BTW who cares what other ppl say.. it's your car afterall. You can listen to others for advice, but ultimately it should be YOU making the decision.

^ check those out as well.. these are specifically for a G sedan. Will fit super flush and aggressive w/ these offsets. Plenty of tread left on quality tires too.

Thanks.
IMO go w/ Eibach prokit.. perfect drop I think..
I just think the H&R drop is a bit to aggressive..
although it looks mean, you'll be scraping over almost everything.

Good luck w/ your search of rims and the perfect drop.
