ive got 18in fikse fm10s, no rubbing issues or anything, just asking from an aesthetic perspective. Any opinion on which ones to get?

nice suspension and youll be where you want to be.

Do you know your wheel sizes and offsets?

With 19s the front will be limited by rubbing against front liner in the fender. Not the actual fender clearance.

 

hey ari, not exactly sure what they are. Theyre the "standard" size in 18 inc fikse recommends.

 

Hard to tell from the angles of the pics but you do need to lower it.

 

the roads up here in westchester county are terrible...i drive the car everyday and im wary of what the ride will be like if i lower it.

 

Lower ride height doesn't have to mean a bad ride. Some PSS9's or similar coilovers can provide just as good of a ride as stock units.

 

more likely to bend a rim though, no?

 

I bought/use them on my car to prevent rubbing issues. Not sure I'd use them for aesthetics only.

AFAIK...RUF uses them on all of their 911's. No bent rims that I'm aware of.

 

i meant more likely to bend a rim on a car that has been lowered

 

No the most likely factor relating to bent rim will be amount or sidewall rubber,sidewall strength & improper tire inflation. As said above the lowering with good coilovers will result in a much better ride all around..handling and comfort.

 

interesting, i learned something new today...thnx guys

 

Believe all Fikse's are custom made therefore there is no "standard". If they are "spec'd" for standard OEM offset then that is a different story. You will still need to determine what the offset is then you can determine if and how much spacer you need. I do have a pair of slightly used H&R spacers that measure 11/16".
Hope this helps.

 

Do a PSS9 or H&R, before I put my 19s on they rode really nice. I live in Baltimore CITY, talk about ****ty roads, that is my home. You wont regret it for sure...

 

lower it then decide about the spacers
