omg gettin the wheels tomorrow...cant sleep im so excited. actually i have a chest cold and when i lay down i start to cough, but im telling mmyself im just excited :)

i really didnt want 17s but i got these from a buddy for free they were just in his back yard, they came on the SI he bought but hes got some rotas on there now.

now for the question, i would like to lower my car but only have room for about an inch of drop, also when ever i go over bumps i get that scrape that makes you cringe everyone talks about tucking rolling and pulling fenders, would someone explain to me what that means and the methods commonly used to achieve less or no rubbing?

In the before photos, you/re running 205/50/17's. Is that what you'll be installing when you get the wheels back?

wow these wheels really turned out wicked looking, of course there is nobody to mount and install them on a sunday so tommorow will have to suffice

yeah, i realized that i went up to a 50 to get better ride quality but now just realized that i cant get my stance right with that size either without some serious cutting... im probably gonna have to sit tight till these tires wear out then get smaller ones like maybe a 195/40/17 then drop it. what do you guys think....

here is some pics of the wheels

They look great! You can run 205/45/17's with a mild to moderate drop.
