New wheels/suspension question

Looking at getting the GT-7's for my 05 coupe. And I am wondering if anyone has gone with new rims without changing out the suspension? Already have the suspension package on my G - but not sure how bad the gap might be with new wheels and tires.

And does anyon have pics of aftermarket on stock suspension? TIA

sure, you can get new wheels and leave the suspension. check the stickies at the top of the wheels forum to see plenty of options.

Question is which DP7's, DPE or Volks? Either will look sick on your G. With 20's, gap wont be that bad. However 20" not available on Volk GT7, only with DPE.
