Default Rims first or coilovers ?

I just picked up my car from the shop today with my lip installed. I have 20mm all around with my stock APV2....

Now, with Tein S-Tech, there is two finger gap and I am thinking...

Do I go with rims next or coilovers ?

Your inputs are much appreciated.

thx

well I was sorta thinking about may be lowering a bit more to close the gap
but then I don't wanna scrape everywhere.

As far as rims are concerned, CE28's / 5zigen are currently on my mind.

I think CE28 are great rims but it seems like everyone sports them so

Size and offset of the wheel will make you get coilovers anyways..... Get both

in terms of offset...more than likely I would want them to flush as much as
possible without having to do a fender roll. in terms of rims, I do agree that
CE28's are nice but seems like a lot of folks have them so I would have to look
for alternatives. I wish I had the money right now to purchase both just like Filthy said but on a budget just like everybody else

If you are on a budget and the tires you currently have on now are good, then just keep the wheels and tires on for now and get coilovers. Then when you are ready to get wheels and tires, you will already have coilovers to adjust the ride height depending on size and offset.

He's only telling you that cuz he just ordered CE's.


Do yourself a favor and get the volks, they're the better option here
