slam, then wheels. Preferably both at the same time. Remove wheels, install coilovers, install new wheels. That's how I did it. Really there's no better way if you can afford it.

If you do suspension work first it'll make it a lot easier to get the right size/offset wheels for what you're trying to accomplish.

The proper way is to do the suspension first. Or if you're ballin, get both at the same time.

Yea lowered on stocks looks better than not lowered on other wheels. IMO
