Mk3 help/suggestion please!

[Blep]

I have a 4 door 98 CL and absolutely love the look of 15" wheels on them! My problem is being from the Coast, NSW we can never get away with being 'too low'. I'd really like to achieve a Stanced OR tucked look, my question is; Will 15s be too small and put me at an illegal height? And should I go 16s instead?

Thanks

15's with 70 series rubber....

seriously though, you pay to play. lows + hassles or highs + uncool look.

it really doesnt matter which size you go to, its ultimately the stance.

i need my car every day so dont want to be bait.

Hey another from the coast! All of my cars have been lower than legal if you want to look at it that way. Haven't had any problems yet (*touch wood*) in my experience it seems if your wheels aren't bright green / pink etc and your car isn't covered in stickers and glowing neons you shouldn't get too much attention.

bigger wheels and bigger tyres can help fill the arches.
getting a mk3 to tuck tyre while staying above 100mm doesnt really happen though

Thanks for the replies guys! There's a set of 15s I really like but I'm thinking I may just go with 16s! Have to keep my eye out. Also what coilovers are you guys running? I'm looking for a set, hopefully not TOO expensive, but I know they don't come cheap! Thanks!

Id even suggest 17s
coilovers can be cheap. generally the more you pay the better the quality and ride though

JOM coils are under 350 from ebay

i have racelands on 17s with 40s on an 8

ride is bumpy but im used to that and the leather seat springs still give me some bounce.

Get cxracing coils and feel the comfort!

Yeah I was looking at JOM, as a last resort, but being that cheap turns me off do obvious reasons haha. Where's the best place to source racelands and cxracing coils?

jOM are rad, i have them. they aren't even that bad for ride quality.
