I have a 2" drop on my 89 hatch and im riding on 13" tires. I really like the way the drop looks, it's not tucked but the tires are pretty much even with the wheel well. If i were to buy 14" or maybe 15" tires, would i get an ugly gap again? I really need to figure something out cuz theres one speedbump before my parking spot and its fuckin HUGE.

when we put the WW rear bumper on it pushed my exhaust to sit lower. went to the tire shop (also muffler place) and got some smaller rubber things that hold up the exhaust. was able to stop scraping my exhaust for the most part :)

LOL that's funny. I think I'm gonna go out and get 15" steelies with rubber. That should do the trick.

ha ha that sucks, but yea if you get bigger rims your wheel will go further into your wheel well..i think.

but keep it higher off the ground at the same time, correct? Also, if i got 15's would it fuck up my camber? cuz it seems fine on the 13's, i just need an alignment after they settle. I dont wanna put 15's on if it's gonna cause me to get a camber kit.

if you get 15's, you just get lower profile tires, not the same sidewall.. so the over all diameter will stay the same as with your 13's, but the side wall will be shorter.. it looks better and corners harder..
