Photoshop Help?
Can someone, please, use their skills to help me decide something?
I want to either:
a) lower my car a little bit or
b) buy taller side walled tires to fill in the gap between my tire and wheel well? Maybe 225/50 18s?
Thanks!

you shouldnt need a photo shop pic to deside this one............just go with lowering your car instead of going with the bigger tires to fill the gap.
just my opinion

actually going for 225/45/18 to 225/50/18 will put your speedometer off by 3.7%. the overall tire diameter is increasing about an inch. 3.7% is a pretty big difference.
just go springs. and honestly, lowering the car an inch will not require you to worry about speed bumps unless you speed through them and hit because of your dampening. nor does it require you to angle a lot (if any). the only time you will really start having to worry is if you add any lip or whatnot. i had the car lowered almost 2 inches with stock front and the only time i angled was very slightly when going up steep driveways.

NGORx8,
Thanks for the tip. Yeah, maybe I'll go about an inch. So, you don't think shocks would be warranted? Do you know anyone who has only gone springs? If so, can they tell the difference between the ride quality of their current setup and stock?
