Lowering kit w/18x10s

twok3gt · July 22nd, 2007, 07:00 AM

Hey guys...Hows it goin? Im new here and this is my first post. Im sorry if it has been posted before, I looked for a search feature real quick and couldnt find one (Im kinda limited on time, Im deployed overseas right now (Army, Infantry)

So, to my question......I just purchased Anthracite 18x10s for the rear of my 03 GT and had a few questions...

A) Anthracite was a stock color, correct? Because Im keeping 17s in the front and I beleive they are anthracite. Its almost like a charcoal color with a silver lip. Hopefully the 18s I ordered matched.

B)I ordered two Michelin 285/35/18s to go with the rears. First off, fitment will be fine, correct? Second, I am going to buy an Eibach spring kit as soon as I get responses from this. I was wondering if I would be safe going with the Sportline kit, or if I should just play it safe and go with the Pro-Kit.

I apologize for all the questions, Im a GM guy (Hahaha...I know I know...) I have a 93 Trans Am with an LT1: Heads, Cam, 3.73s, LTs, 3000 Stall, ect....Best time of 12.80@109 with a 2.2 60'

Yeah, I cant hook up at all. And I also have an 03 GSX-R 600. Alright, Ill shut up now. Thank you guys much!

yeah either the sportline or pro kit will work just fine... i have 18x9front and 18x10rear running 285/35/18 also. I have the eibach pro kit, but the sportline will work just fine also.
