you cannot "tuck" on a strut car. Lowrering the car that much PROPERLY would require more money that youre willing to spend.

protege------ I know this but what I really meant by "tuck" is that the tire doesn't interfere with wheelwell. factory wheels are 15x6 and I want 16x7. I wanted to know if those wheels will stick out and interfere with current handling.<P>assuming a max 2 1/2".
