Getting Started

|
get 15" rims width not more than 6.5JJ (ideal would be 5.5JJ or 6JJ) offset not more than +45 or lesser than +35.
tyre size 165/50/15
sport spring GAB or equivalent will give u 1-2 finger front, 3 finger rear.
Total cost depends on your rims. Cheap rims cost less than 1k, tyres will cost around 600-700 for 4 pieces. sport spring around 200++ bucks.
less than 2k can get u the setup u want..
if budget really low, look for 2nd hand stuff. shld cost around 1k only all in

Smaller rim size and higher suspension means better handling? to me i think 14s is already good enough. if u still want to improve the handling + looks, just get it lowered a bit via sports suspension...

14" is nice enough.. if you want you can push it 15" but seriously, you ride will be hard as rock lol.
Cooler looking, nevertheless.
