18 in all the way around, To high in front?

[garthed]

If I put 18 inch wheels all the way around won't the front of the car be an inch higher? If it does make it a inch high should I put lowering springs like H&R in the front only to make up the difference?

Thanks

The size of the rim is not the critical factor, its the size of the tire. A lower profile tire would balance things, although I'm not sure what you will be able to find in the size required.
Also note that wrt to the stock rims, a one inch difference in rim diameter only would make a difference of 0.5 in. by itself; again, that 1/2" can be accommodated by tire selection. Note that the '02 NSX has 17" wheels both front & rear.

i saw a grey Hummer H2 in St. Petersburg yesterday with 24" rims and if that wasn't sweet enough they we're the ones that kept spinning when stopped.They have to be good for around $15,000.
