2004 upgrades

My 04 has 16" wheels on it, I want to go bigger. I've seen other 04 with 17", but I want to lower it as well. Would 18" fit or should I go to 17s only.

you can squeeze 20's on the 04 and look great. ill probably end up with foose speedster 5 on my car hopefully.........damn house payments......

I was looking at the speedster 5, I also like the type S, and the lusso from foose. Is that with the stock suspension? If I drop it would 20's rub?

20's on a lowered (with Eibach springs) should not rub as far as I know. I drove our Inferno:



out in So. Cal. about a year ago and had a lot of fun with it. I don't remember any rubbing, but I'm also not sure if we had to do any fender work. Something tells me there was no fender work.

How hard was the ride with 20's and eibach springs?

Noticeably rougher than stock, but not terrible, if I remember correctly.

If I remember correctly, Brian remembers correctly. hehehe It will be considerably more ruff you are reducing susp travel by about 1 inch at every corner increasing wheel size and therfore decreasing tire size a lot 225/60/16 to something like 245/35 or 255/35 20's. Question do you feel more comfortable sitting on a concreate bench or one with 4 inches of padding? its all what you want if you have decent roads and dont have to worry about damage or if you will always be looking for a potwhole to prevent mucho damage to your car........

Zach summed it up perfectly!

Those rims on the Inferno are smoking!!!

I live in Toronto, so I think I'll go with 18's.

Guys do you know of a transmision upgrade kit?

Well I bought them, Chip Foose 18 inch speedsters.

Eibach Lowering Springs are great but beware of your Stabilizer bar coming unbolted from your strut!

Stabilizer bar coming unbolted? What's up with that? Has it happen to you?
