But you can lower a car on large wheels without rubbing if you run proper tire size and get a higher offset wheel. A 17x7 +45 would not rub with a drop from any lowering spring. BTW - I've never rubbed on either set of 17's I've owned (17x7 +43 and 17x7 +40) but I rubbed like crazy on my 15x7 +19 MOMO's. |

But you can continue to believe you "schooled" someone who has probably been driving longer than you've been alive! Now go away and let the adults talk! Brendan, I really like your car; and would much rather drive it than some lame sedan! And 33OH, I don't think that's correct, as if you compare the picture of the car with 15" wheels to mine you will see that the gap is significantly smaller on my car. It has more to do with offset than it does wheel size.

The ignorance continues. Offset and wheel gap are on different planes. Wheel/tire size and wheel gap are on the same plane.

You guys are brutal to each other. If the dude likes the gap...........Who cares? it's his ride. There are so many combinations to achive a certian look out there and that's what makes us all different. You can virtually run what ever tire/whell combo you want with the right suspension set-up.
I don't know mabey one of you should do a killer JDM set-up with some killer camber-offset and tuck those wheels a little as well. Oh, but you'll need more than some cheap ass springs. Perhaps some Double adjustable coil-overs and camber plates. Now were talking about getting a real agresive look. Mabey get some JIC Majic , Megan, K-Sport or some other bad ass way to truley adjust your ride height. And then hey, run what ever tire you want...........because it won't matter, you can adjust it to your likeing. But hey this is just my opinon. Enjoy arguing XBG |

Sorry, I actually never forgot about this thread. I just wanted to wait couple days until I was sure that someone posted some pics. I also just had other stuff to do. That's all. I'm also very, very appreciative of how helpful everyone has been. I know now that coilovers are definitely a good idea to get, but in the meantime, 17's with the stock suspension actually doesn't look to bad in my opinion.

Really? I think it looks ridiculous, but I live in the land of Mexican lowriders and there's nothing more amusing as watching them bottom out when going over a speed bump! That thing would self-destruct if driven like that on roads around here!
And Soni, I had thought about lowering mine for a while now, but I just don't see the need. I like the way my car looks as it is, it handles great and if anything, I am concerned about rubbing. Dropping it a inch or so really won't make that much difference, and I suspect the handling gains are nominal (and imaginary in some cases) if at all. Cheers! M2
