I have a set of teins that I am going to put on and a set of 18s I am buying sunday but wanted to make sure that they will fit once the car is lowered. The tires or 215 35 18. I am pretty sure they will fit and the tires seem skinny but wanted to see what everyone else has with 18s and if the drop is too much with 18s.

Thanks, oh and fyi I just bought another galant to part out but the interior is mine so I will have a grey interior to part out and parts under the hood except the tranny. The engine is locked up and I dont need any other interior or exterior parts besides the grill. Let me know via pm.

Thanks everyone,

Adam

that looks real good. Do you have any subs in the trunk? That was my other concern with my 15 in the trunk the rear sits low already. Thanks for the quick response.

i'd go with the 225/40 the 215/35 is too small.

aftermarket springs are usually stiffer than the factory springs so the car won't sag down due to the weight, as much as factory springs.

What kind of springs are you buying? You're not running the teins on OE ones right?
