Message	I got a great deal on a set of classic wheels 17x8 (32) & 17x9 (38): $410 incl shipping From eBay; $ 85 to straighten one wheel; and $200 to sandblast and powder coat all four. $695 = Total for new looking straight Advan AVS-5 (The center caps cannot be powder coated and are waiting on matching paint) I know... I know... The gap. Because the offsets push the wheels outward, the fender gap is more obvious and needs to be addressed. The front especially, needs at least a good 1" drop. The rear could get buy with less. I want to lower, BUT not at the expense of losing an OEM compliant ride. Is there anything closer to OEM setup than Eibachs and KYB adjustables? How about coil-overs? Are there any that allow you to keep the springs long [and softer rates] but allow you to get a drop by adjusting the spring perches? _________________________________________________
