it was just really high off the ground. i saw it in a pic so can't say from a close up view. i think it was being sold on ebay like a couple of years ago. if you got a body kit afterwards to somewhat compensate for the height then it would help the looks. wait forgot you got the airbags. go for it man. only thing i can think that would matter to you would be that you wouldn't be able to slam your car all the way down unless you cut the wheel wells.
isn't there a rim site that shows your car with different rims? if you can find that site it'll help you out a lot more to make a decision.

the hight wont be a problem if i can get the wheels to fit under the fender.. i figure if i go with no ruber so i can get them to fit :twisted: sparks!!!

i will put a body kit on it some day and when the air is all the way out the body kit will apear to be sitting on the ground and when i drive it would only raise up 2 to 3 inches for the nice roads and full hight would be like 4 to 5 if its a bad road

I saw 18s on a Reno and it looked sweet. The Suzuki dealer here customized a Reno and it is awesome. They have it in the show room. I'll take pics of it some day but I don't have a good cam. They put custom dual exhaust, an AEM intake, dressed the engine up a lil, black 18s, and custom black and orange paint job. Are you drooling yet??? I'll take some pics someday. About your question though, 18s would raise the woo up but they will look clean.
