Anyone slammed on 18's?
Right now im running 18x8s on a 2004 MCS and im wanting to go low for the stance... I was wondering if anyone has ever gotten low on 18's or is it time for 17's?

I have R95 wheels and am planning on going with JCW springs next year. A 1 inch drop is probably too much with 18s.

Here's a pic of our old R53 with 18's and lowered 30mm (used Koni springs).

On the C20 I ran a sponsored Toyo setup

Toyo T1-R 215/35/18 (slight stretch)

On the 590RS I'm running a Yokohama setup

Yokohama Parada Spec 2 215/35/19 (slight stretch)

Looks awesome, but the ride must be hell on 19s. BANG, BANG, dent, BANG. Not good for cruising the secondary highways out here.
