Please. Just want to see what 17s would look like on my car and how much inches of gap is left. Wanna make sure I can get the right springs and right tire size and rims.

I had 18s before and i didnt really like them but ive had 4 sets of 17s and id have to say its best all around...theyre not expense, most arent incredibly heavy, tires ares are fairly cheap (in my experience)

IIRC/IMHO, my 18's offered the best ride, 19's looked the best, and the 17's have me the lowest

IMHO 17's are too small. 18's are the way to go.

I saw those gram lights on Tire Rack a couple days ago and tried to get more, if you notice it says "less than 2", in other words there is only 1 left and it's in Delaware or something.

I ended up getting some 16" Voxx wheels, they aren't as low profile as I would like but after reading up on the effects of weight versus performance against other sizes, the 16's were lighter and will give me the same performance in the corners as I was looking for, it will just look more stock and give a surprise in the corner that people aren't expecting!

I'd post pics, but I don't wanna hear the feedback frankly.

I like this drop. What size are your tires??

I gonna do some H techs. They drop a tiny big lower then H&Rs but not as crazy as S techs. SO H techs are gonna be for me... Now I am have a tough time deciding between Tokico ills or KYB AGX's
