Default question OEWheels DD c5

im thinking of getting a set of deep dish c5's now my car is stock ride height (speedlines 17s) but my exhaust hangs pretty low as it is (in the front....) the back looks jacked up pretty high .. i know when i put these 18s on its going to go up more...

If you get the right sized tires then the rear shouldn't go up at all. As long as the overall tire height for the 18's is the same as the height for the 17's it will be the same. Other than that, do the heater hose mod if you want it lower.
