noob question ; ride height towards rim size

[tps09]

noob quiz:

just wondering,


If my car is sitting on stock civic 15's rims and its slamed 2'inches

would my ride height look higher or lower or about the same, if i'd decide to put 16's rims



cheers guys

should look the same, as your rolling diameter should be the same as your 15s. the larger rims, and lower profile tyres give the illusion that the car looks higher cos there's less side wall rubber? i think you should be safe with your 16s though.

Use this to work out what size tyre you'll need to keep the same rolling diameter.

Legally you can go 15mm larger or 20mm smaller in overall diameter.

if you run 205/45 tyres, your car will look lower but your actual clearance will be higher. Probs around half cm higher.

thats if your running 16x7's of course
