i was thinking of getting nakayma vador 5 rims 18's
but i was told that i would have to get lowering springs, an alignment kit, and might have to change my stock shocks
help a kid out and tell me what to do
the size of the tire would be 225/40/18" Hankook Ventus Tires.

oh another question, would i have to do any modifications to the wheel well?!?

Nahhh, you don't have to mod anything to run 18's. I have 18" Konig Imagine's on 225/40-18 Yokohama Parada Spec-2's and they do great. Just be sure you get the offset right. It should be a positive 45mm offset, give or take a mm or two. Mine are +45mm, and I have no problems. Your G will look better if you lower it, but you don't need it. Stick with the 225/40 tires also. I was told they work best, and give you a little more rubber between your rim and the nearest pothole, and they work great for me. :wink:
